I had been working with a therapist, but I could only see her once every two weeks. In the meantime, my panic attacks would get worse, and at each visit, it seemed like I was starting all over again.
My therapist finally recommended the Recovery Program. It includes Overcoming Panic, Anxiety, & Phobias, and it also has 5 audio tapes. You're supposed to listen to one side of a tape, about 15 minutes, every day for a week. During that week, you also use a little booklet that goes along with the tape and read in the book. I found that they reinforced each other and gave me the support I needed to keep going.
The other part of the recovery program is the CalmDown relaxation tape. I used it every day in the beginning. Gradually, I learned how to relax my body and my mind without even needing the tape.
Now I can do everything I want to do without the fear and confusion that made me miserable for so long.
