I have had anxiety for an awfully long time I am 58 now, for years I took valium, then spent years getting off it. I have tried CBT but it doesn't work for me, for nearly 10 years I have seen a pschodynamic counsellor and it has kept me going. Last month for the first time in my life I cancelled a holiday and since then I have suffered quite bad bouts of serious anxiety/ doubting myself. Any suggestions ideas, I have thought of hypnotherapy or am I just wanting someone else to sort my problems for me. A major cause I believe of my anxiety was my anxious mother and she died last year. I would be grateful of replies from people who have experienced similar anxiety.
Many thanks
Tony
