Debbie,
Welcome to our support community. You can help your progression and so can we. Our members know what you are going through and can share their experiences with you. Using medication or herbal supplements is an avenue best discussed with your doctor and pharmacist. They have a world of knowledge to give and can assist you with dosages and side effects.
There are different types of therapy out there. Some therapies involve talking about the past in an attempt to understand the problem and develop some strategies for coping, etc.
The Panic Program is not talk therapy. Its not about medications either. Its a treatment program thats all about getting you actively involved in your own improvement. How great is that?
It teaches you things you may not understand about panic and agoraphobia, your own panic, your own panic cycle, and as you learn and get involved, you begin the journey and the process of taking back control from a fear that at the moment is controlling you.
The program is not about someone telling you to smarten up or just get with it at all. Its a guide, a silent teacher, and a whole program. Its like going to a school that offers a course in your very own fears and how to beat your very own fears down.
It works this way: The Program guides you through the process of getting back this control. It prepares you for this, one single step at a time, and gives you some homework to bring you along from session 1 to session 2, and onward, in a series of 12 sessions over a period of twelve weeks.
So take the time to look around and take the test to your doctor. Start becoming active in your progress!
Josie, Support Specialist
