Dancing away an anxious mind: a memoir about overcoming panic disorder.
Author: Rand, Robert Published: 2004 In this engaging memoir, Robert Rand tells the story of how social dancing freed him from the grip of panic disorder. Rand was a serious man, a scholarly, shy, and intense perfectionist who achieved national recognition in his career, when, in the midst of his success, panic attacks overwhelmed him. For more than two years he suffered the debilitating attacks, until he discovered social dancing, in particular Cajun and zydeco dance and music. Dancing became a cathartic endeavour, helping him beat back his illness and regain control of his life. |
