Its a relisation as much as a technique. The panick and the feelings that you feel are f*****ing horrendous when you suffer from anxiety. The realisation is that they are feelings. You ain't gonna die, go nuts, make it worse by confronting it etc etc. If you want to get better then oneday you have to confront it. The realisation can be a matter of days and then its downhill from there really. Its not like bang you never have to feel down or anxious or scared again but it starts going very quickly when you learn how to train your mind not to do it by diverting your concious mind. Anxiety is a habit. Its a natural response that can become WAY over vigilant. Its not a lack of brain chemicals etc etc. Nobody is ill when they suffer from anxiety its just an innappropriate response that can amke you FEEL very ill indeed. But when you conquer it, you realise how unnecessary the suffering was. The program has nine pillars that you live by in order to conquer the condition, you do it everyday until you are clear.
