Saints,
Welcome to our support community and thanks for sharing with us. We are always here for support and knowledge and the program can really make a difference.
We receive letters from people who tell us they tried talk therapy and it didn't work, so they don't want to do the Panic Program. They think that the Panic Program is talk therapy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
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.
Its 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.
Please post often and let us know how we can help :)
