Mental Health and Wellness Book: The Worry Cure

Are you already worrying about law school exams or do you expect that you will be soon? If so, it can be helpful to plan ahead for how you will contain your worry so that it will not paralyze you around exam time. The Mental Health and Wellness Collection, located in the Ohio Room, includes a number of books that you can check out that may help you get a handle on exam time worrying.

One title to try is The Worry Cure: Seven Steps to Stop Worry from Stopping You by Robert L. Leahy. Early on in the book, you can establish your worry profile to understand yourself better. Next, you can go over unproductive ways to deal with worrying, such as trying to stop your thoughts or numbing yourself with alcohol. The seven steps to stopping worrying are the main part of the book. These cover things like identifying productive and unproductive worrying, focusing on the deeper threat, and taking control of your time.

You can find The Worry Cure in our Mental Health & Wellness Collection, located in the Ohio Room as you walk in. All of the books from this collection can be checked out at the circulation desk. You can explore the collection online through our Mental Health & Well-Being research guide.
