"Rabbit Heart and Worry Chains" is the insightful, precise, yet also winking perspective of a woman on her life with generalized anxiety disorder. Beate Felten-Leidel shares her experiences with phobias, panic attacks, high sensitivity, and both small and large fears and worries, as well as her failures and successes. For a long time, she lives more or less untreated with her anxiety disorder, searching for physical causes and trying medication. It is not until the age of 37 that the author seeks psychotherapeutic treatment. She had her first panic attack at the age of six. In her memory, fear is omnipresent throughout her childhood. The unique family dynamics and the specific climate in post-war Germany played a significant role in this. Today, she understands much better and, over the years, becomes an expert on her own fears.
