Hypnotherapy

[Stumblety]

Anyone have any luck with this in regards to anxiety, panic disorder and agoraphobia? I imagine if you did you wouldn't be on here.

I admire your logic, Stumblety, but recovery from anxiety, panic disorder and agoraphobia is all work in progress. Many of your questions will already have been answered in previous postings, search and you will find.

Stumblety, but I am as well as others who have used every method possible in order to get their life back. We are here to give hope and ideas in how to break out of the anxiety hold and get on with your life. Hypnotherapy is just one of the techniques I used. I studied and researched and was open minded to anything and everything out there that didn't drug me up. I needed and wanted to be clear minded enough to accept Anxiety for what it was, A Bully...A mind altering Bully. It may have taken years but I finally challenged it and did what I should have many moons ago. It takes time, patience, belief in yourself as well as in Acceptance being the way to go. I added meditation and deep breathing and Positive Thinking and whatever else I could throw in the basket. Oh I was on medication at one time but then I realized it wasn't the total answer. The answer had to come from me not from a drug.

So my friend, as Jeff1943 stated, look around and check out some of the posts and responses that have been written. Unlike Where's Waldo, we are in plain view ready and willing to extend our support and understanding.

Keep positive, keep strong and stay safe.

Everything that you are going threw went threw for years. There would be days i would look out the window and not be able to go to work or just get in the car and drive. Then i would have panic attacks and my throat felt like it was closing up and it overtook my life. i lived off xanax for years.
