All is not lost

Hi Guys! Just had to post today as I have had possibly the best experience since developing panic disorder. I went to a hypnotherapist recommended by my GP, and I am so glad I did. Had a half an hour consultation at first going over background etc and current fears. Felt good just talking everthing through with him and felt so comfortable as he told me he had suffered with PAs in 1992 and hypnotherapy had helped him overcome it.

Cant really remember much of what he said while I was under although I could hear his voice. Anyway after I came out felt really weird for the first hour or so, didnt know if it was anxiety/panic and then BANG. Sudden confidence out of nowhere, been into town for the first time in about 3 years, I had no pains, drove around areas I didnt know and have been scared to drive in but did it with real ease, no scary thoughts cropping up or anything. Just felt really free and alive. So hard to put into words and probably sounds stupid after just one session but I really did it!!! Feel so proud.

Just hope this feeling continues.

Love to all of you

I had Hypnotherapy for a while.
It did help me a lot as i have managed to deal with my anxiety and fear of being sick a lot better.
However it did not cure me.

Still suffer now and then, but not half as bad as i did.

But to be honest dont know if it is the councelling, meds, hypnotherapy, or just friends and family that have helped.

Prob a combination of all!
