Hi

I have just found a free CBT based 12 week course that you do online for panic disorder and/or agoraphobia.

hello, i'm only on ther 1st week... at the beggining of each week you get information to read and then homework to do during the week...

the 1st session consists of lotsa reading, (i printed off 15 a4 sheets of info to read) then you need to print off an 'anxious thoughts and behaviours table' and a 'panic attack form' and you need to fill them in when you get anxious so that you have a record of your thoughts/symptoms and behaviours... the homework for the 1st week is just to fill in the forms when you need to but as the weeks go on i presume you need to expose yourself to scary situations. it did say that a lot of hard work needs to be put into it to overcxome it but i'm sure thats the case with any CBT.

you dont actually get anyone helping you but there is a forum on the website and people you can chat to who are going through the same thing or have completed the course.

yep the course is free... so you've got nothing to lose if it doesnt help...

IT looked good so I decided to sign up the old panic bug has been hangin around me a little too much lately so I figured some positive reinforcement could do the trick

Did anyone finish this course???

I did and I felt that it has helped in some way. I dont let the panic hold me back as much, whereas before I would avoid everything that I could. If I didnt have to go out, then I wouldnt.

My symptoms are still very strong and frightening though, and I wish I was more able to challenge my anxious thoughts. When a panic attack strikes, its the last thing that I think of.

Just wondered what everyone else thought???

Thank you all for your posts on this matter. I have checked out the free course and it is well worth the effort to sign up for because cognitive behavioral therapy is so helpful, in my experience, for panic attacks. I had panic attacks for many years but really found I was able to deal with them using cognitive behavioral therapy. One other site that has a tonne of cognitive behavioral therapy, and a lot of real life examples utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy is http://panicattackrecovery.com
It also offers a free newsletter which also includes coverage of cognitive behavioral therapy and a tonne of tips for panic attacks.
I also really have found Dr. David Burns' work so amazingly helpful. His website is: http://feelinggood.com He includes an intro to his most recent book: When Panic Attacks. Dr. Burns has been an inspiration to so many people.

[robinbrum]

Thank you panic1971. I have registered and will try and post my feedback on here.

[bigmo]

Can anyone who completed course as some feedback :)

Can anyone who completed course as some feedback :)

The members on here that have done that course recently have left NMP and returned to the Panic Center forum. It's free to sign up to the forum so it will be best to ask them as other than the recent members, it never gets mentioned on here. The members who came here from there did so because their forum is very small but they said it was a good course and some members from here left to join that forum and use it.

The only people on this thread that I've seen around lately are t0rt01se36 and robinbrum.
