Rich Presta is a world renowned self-improvement coach and author in the fields of anxiety, panic disorders, and phobias. His most popular works online are Panic Puzzle, Anxiety Lie, The Anxiety-Free Child Program, The Paruresis Treatment System, The Driving Fear Program, and the The OCD Rescue Program, which he co-wrote with Dr. Cheryl Lane.
Rich, himself, suffered from anxiety since he was a child. While other children enjoyed their days playing and mingling with other children, Rich’s life was covered with worry, fear, and anxiety. He kept on thinking that he was different from other children in school and that he did not measure up to them. He was always awkward and uncomfortable, which made him unable to make and keep friends. During those dark days, he envied children who can laugh fearlessly and be happy for the simplest reasons.
Since Rich’s anxiety was not treated, it followed him through adulthood. It gave him problems in almost all aspects of his life and affected his school and job performance. Also, feelings of being broken never left him. He wanted so badly to be a normal person and have peace of mind.
Through hard work and research, Rich finally overcame his anxiety. It took him quite a long time, and required a huge effort. When he was finally cured of his condition, he made it his life’s mission to help people who are suffering from anxiety, as well as their families. Of course, he wants everyone to be able to look back to their childhood days with joy and contentment.
Now, Rich’s anti-anxiety programs have been featured in a lot of magazines including Psychology Today and Natural Health. He has also appeared on Discovery Health channel, MSNBC, CNN, and a lot more.
