Do you suffer from panic attacks? Have you started to avoid the places that you had a panic attack in the past because you don't want it to happen again? Or maybe you have missed trips because you're scared to fly? Have you been to the doctor, wore a heart rate monitor, but still check your pulse to get reassurance? Or given up coffee because you don't want to risk the possible anxiety? Maybe you try so hard to not let the panic take over, but the more you try the worse it gets? Could you imagine not feeling like you have to be on guard to stop a panic attack 24/7? And you could just go to dinner without plotting an escape plan?
