Hi Tweety
I think I fallow your post, I understand how you do not want to go to the doctors for cbt as that is were you have had panic attack and I know from my own attacks that we avoid situation that have made us panic, but cbt over the phone sounds like a good starting point, I would defo try it and see how you get on and then make small steps to try getting to the doctors for cbt, don't give up as I have had cbt in the past good and not so good psychologist and they do help, I waiting to go back and get more cbt as I do think it helps in the long run. Good luck
