Book and guide
A book on panic, and a free guide
I have written a book on coming out of panic through psychotherapy, published in 2023 and available on Amazon. And a short free guide to anxiety and panic attacks, which I will send you as a PDF.
Free guide
What is inside
The guide is deliberately short: 10 pages, six chapters, nothing to fill in.
What happens during an attack
The physiological sequence, and why the body reacts before the thought.
Ordinary anxiety and a disorder
Where the line falls, and why it is not a matter of intensity.
Avoidance
Why it works in the moment, and what it does over time.
The body and its signals
How an ordinary sensation becomes an alarm.
When a medical assessment is needed
What has to be ruled out first, and who to see.
What happens in a course of therapy
The phases, the rhythm of sessions, and what gets brought in.

I will email it to you
It arrives straight away, as a PDF. The address is used to send it and to reply if you write to me.

E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle
Guarire dal panico con la psicoterapia · 2023
The title is the closing line of Dante's Inferno: the moment when, having come out of the dark, you can see the sky again. The book follows that shape — from panic as it is lived from the inside, to what remains possible afterwards.
It is built around the questions people actually ask: are anxiety and panic the same thing? Why me? Do medications create dependence, or change who you are? How does the work proceed, and how long does it take? And why, after a course of therapy already completed, does something sometimes remain?
Written for people living with panic, and for those beside them. The book is in Italian.
