I found a way forward that helped a lot

I have suffered since childhood with high anxiety and mostly learned to turn it into positive energy. However, when I was thirty and in a very stressful job and lifestyle, I began to have full on panic attacks. Again I learned to handle those and live with them. In the last couple of years, I have had a number of colorectal surgeries, one of which when wrong and caused six episodes of sepsis for which I was hospitalised until the surgery was redone. After this everything became uncontrollable. I was diagnosed with PTSD and Post Sepsis Syndrome (mostly the same symptoms). Life became unbearable and am treatment resistance. I must have been on every known drug at this stage. However, I discovered a therapy developed by Marisa Peer that she calls Rapid Transformational Therapy and it helped, it helped a lot, a lot more than any medication I had tried (none of which worked for me). I am in a better place. In time I hope to 'get my life back'

Glad you found something that worked for you. Different things work for different people. There is so much choice of "therapy" out there it is mind boggling! I just looked up what you described. It seems to be based mainly on hypnotherapy. That never worked for me but glad you have found some success and solutions to your difficulties. Always good to read a positive post! X
