I have a BIG problem with people who are making MILLIONS off of sufferers of Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia. BIG TIME! I don't have a problem for charging for a service but ... some of these guys go completely OVERBOARD! Especially because, many times PA suffers can't work therefore lack the financial resources to be able to afford a lot of these things! ARGH. Anyhow, I ACCIDENTALLY stumbled onto a FREE version of this LINDEN Method and had a look. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. There are a couple of basic things suffers must understand I think..and of course, this is only my opinion....
1. We need to LEARN and PRACTICE over and over again, cognitive therapy practices to get it in our heads that we aren't going to die or go crazy. We have to learn (and believe) that the symptoms we experience are NOT dangerous
2. We need to accept that for the rest of our lives, we will be prone to anxiety times...that's life, we will not suddenly be anxiety-free! No one is. But, we can learn to not be afraid, therefore reduce our symptoms to such a managable level that we hardly notice our reactions.
3. We need to continually take care of ourselves in ways that promote relaxation and health - ie limiting stimulants, getting exercise, enough sleep etc.
I don't believe for a minute that there are any shortcuts, quickfixes etc. I have suffered with ANXIETY ATTACKS for 25 years and there is no way, in 3 days by paying some dude a wack of money, that they are going to have "THE ANSWER" for me that no physician knows about!
Sorry for the long post...I just get frustrated sometimes! ;) I'm ok now.
Have a peaceful day everyone!
