Hi everyone.

I receive letters from people who tell me they tried "talk therapy" and it didn't work, so they don't want to do the Panic Program.  They think that the Panic Program is "talk therapy".  Nothing could be further from the truth.

There are different types of therapy out there. Some therapies involve talking about the past in an attempt to understand the problem and develop some strategies for coping, etc.  

The Panic Program is not talk therapy. It's not about medications either.  It's a treatment program that's all about getting you "actively involved" in your own improvement.  How great is that?

It teaches you things you may not understand about panic and agoraphobia, your own panic, your own panic cycle, and as you learn and "get involved", you begin the journey and the process of taking back control from a fear that at the moment is controlling you.  

Doesn't that idea of getting back control sound wonderful?  So it's not about talking. It's about doing.  And in doing, it's about recovery.

But maybe this idea of "doing" scares you and you avoid it for that reason. I've had emails from people who say this too.  Well it's not about someone telling you to 'smarten up' or 'just get with it' at all. It's a guide, a silent teacher, and a whole program.  It's like going to a school that offers a course in your very own fears and how to beat your very own fears down.  How would you feel on graduation day if you could do just that?

It works this way:  The Program guides you through the process of getting back this control. It prepares you for this, one single step at a time, and gives you some homework to bring you along from session 1 to session 2, and onward, in a series of 12 sessions over a period of twelve weeks.

Many people want help for their panic and can't afford therapy.  The Panic Program is offered free of charge to you.  Don't pass up this opportunity.
