This psychotherapist highly recommends this book
As a psychotherapist, I highly recommend this book to any person who is experiencing general stress to full-blown panic attacks or agoraphobia. I have truly found this book to be a success in treating patients. It is easy to read and comprehend, full of examples and real-life success stories. The book provides excellent, proven techniques to help conquer anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, and agoraphobia. One of the most beneficial aspects to the book is that the author herself shares her struggle with panic disorder and agoraphobia and how she won her battle back to a healthy, relaxing life. She is able to teach us how to look within ourselves to see what is creating our fears and anxiety and how we can change these behaviors and thoughts to create a balanced mind and life. This book is truly a life saver and gives readers the hope and confidence they seek.

This book saved my life!
I read "Panic to Power" about 4 years ago.....I couldn't believe that others were going through the same things that I was...I thought I was going nuts!!! Believing that I was going to pass-out-----have a heart-attack or just plain lose control..... I think what makes this book unique is Lucinda's honesty....allowing us to see her own weakness and life experiences)......She says........WE can control our own thoughts, weaknesses, strengths, and ultimately our own destiny..... And she doesn't push throwing a pill down your throat...... I still feel panic trying to take control of my mind and body at times, as if its' a separate entity, but I take control and scream >>>>No WAy!!!! I have passed "Panic to Power" on to many others.....It's pages are now highlighted and well used..... And I know that the fingerprints on her pages have grown into individuals who have finally taken CONTROL over their unwelcome anxiety....... FREEDOM IS BEAUTIFUL!

Some strong, positive focus phrases
Professionally I'm a very effective teacher, administrator and facilitator so I wasn't looking for setting goals of what I want to accomplish in that segment of my life. Lucinda encourages that. However I am just climbing up out about 3 years of life's extremes and in recent months panic attacks, which I've experienced during times of extreme stresses over the years, had returned full force. This book gave me some hand-holds to grab and has meant a great deal.Lucinda's quote by Shakespeare led me to be able to name what I really was seeking....."My crown is content". CONTENTMENT. That in itself is a goal. If what I'm doing doesn't lead to contentment then it needs to be reassessed and possibly eliminated.
She also reinforced for me that *I* am my own place of safety and that "everything is alright EXACTLY AS IT IS". She led me to check my foundation and then to act on it. I am very grateful for finding this book right at this time.
