Useful link
Hey! I am pretty familiar with using Mindfulness to help with anxiety and over the years I have immersed myself in the work of Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn (he developed the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program) - it might be worth checking out!

Heres a link you could include in your book chapter: []

Hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any questions. U3048330 (discuss • contribs) 09:32, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Feedback
Hello, The chapter looks great so far. Somewhere in your 'quality of life' section you could mention some of the unwanted and sometimes dangerous side effects of anti-anxiety medications. This could then lead to your mindfulness section which represents really well the benefits of early self regulation. Great chapter so far, will be interested to see your chapter progress. --David James Stevenson (discuss • contribs) 00:36, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey lovely, your chapter looks so great. It flows well and its easy to read. I only have one suggestion. The only part this is a little hard to read becuase the sentence is so long, is the part where you are talking about the symptoms of anxiety and how they can be combination of: ... You could maybe use dot points so that the reader can follow it a bit easier :) great work (3083783ro (discuss • contribs) 10:05, 21 October 2015 (UTC)=u3083783)

Effectiveness of ACT
Hey, your book chapter's coming along really nicely! I was really interested in your ACT section as my cousin is a psychologist and predominantly uses this type of therapy for her clients. It sounds really good, however you might like to add some information on the effectiveness of ACT for Anxiety in comparison to other treatments. I found this article evaluating the effectiveness of ACT which might be nice to tie into this section (doi: 10.1017/bec.2014.5). You might also like to look into some of the work of Russ Harris, as he has written some popular self help books on the use of mindfulness and ACT for Anxiety and Depression - might make it a bit more practical for the reader to understand! Good luck with it! U3096454! (discuss • contribs) 12:02, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
