Newbie!

[mikesten]

Hello,
I'm Mike, aged 41.
Have suffered from Panic Attacks since 1995, so 15 years plus now.
Not currently on any medication or counselling etc.
Been down most routes and just wish the attacks would go once and for all! :(

Any comments, or assistance welcome!

Oh, has anyone tried the Linden Method? Saw it today and was tempted, but it's a lot of cash to lay out if it doesn't work!

Thanks! :)

Hey :welcome: to NMP.

You could try this online CBT course.
It's free and there's a couple of us currently doing it I think.

Hi Mike, and a big NMP :welcome:. Before you invest in the Linden method it might be worth trying the following;

There is a brilliant book by Dr Claire Weekes;SELF HELP FOR YOUR NERVES published by Thorsens ISBN 0-7225-3155-9.This is available from the NMP shop. Dr Weekes was a physician and scientist. She was a fellow sufferer (nominated for the nobel prize for medicine) and really understood this illness. She took the mystery out of it, and devised a simple programme for recovery. I can't recommend this enough.( It is a bit old fashioned, but still so relevant).
Here is a link to her site;

Another book which has really helped me is;

Matthieu Ricard ' Happiness...a guide to developing life's most important skill ' published by Atlantic ISBN 978-1-84354-558-3.He is a French Buddhist monk and a very accomplished man....here is a link to one of his talks.....

This will get better. Veronicax
