Hi Warren
Self doubt, anxiety, fear, apprehension are the calling cards of anxiety and panic. Problem with finding recovery is that we have to go against all the symptoms of warning (fear-adrenalin-fear, fight or flight) that our mind is signaling to our body.
We have to learn and know that these are thoughts and feelings that WE generate and we cause our own anxiety and fear.
Very hard to learn this and to pratice it everyday but it does work. It takes alot of time and patience.
