I just read your piece in the Times which led me to your site. Thanks for talking/writing about this. It's nice (in a sort of twisted way) to see how many of us are out there. I've been suffering with an anxiety disorder for most of my life but didn't have my first full-blown panic attack until I was 21 (in 1984). By 1990 they were happening multiple times a day. I've tried all kinds of recovery methods over the years and while (as you know) there is no quick fix or "one size fits all" magic bullet, I just want to give a shout out to doing EMDR with my therapist in 1998. (EMDR is a "hypnotic" treatment commonly used for post traumatic stress disorder.) I had tremendous results. I still suffer from anxiety but it has gone from living at a red-alert 10 24/7 to a barely registrable 1-2 on most days. Thanks again for going public and I look forward to reading your book.
