Don,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing tools with which to be able to deal with things like what I've been facing with 'Panic'.. As you may know I suffered a rather difficult 8 day period of panic episodes that were like rolling attacks 6 or more times a day a little over a year ago.. When I hit the 8th day of ongoing panic attacks.. Although my Doc was very hesitant he decided to put me on a medication (a Benzo)for fear that I might well have a seizure.
After numerous tests to determine if there was something physically wrong with me due to a serious fall I'd suffered a year or so earlier.. All tests showed nothing and this went far in calming my fears of disease or dying. And showed me that I had a lot of unresolved subconscious issues that had gone on for years without being addressed. The obvious roots to a life of anxiety.
Then I found your site on the internet! This gave me tremendous hope! I began using the tools you provide free to someone like me who has a limited income and they have literally changed my life for the better.
I stayed on the medication the Doc put me for 6 months.. having to increase the amount as I became tolerant to the point where the side effects of the drug outweighed its advantages and I began a tapering program to come off the drug slowly. It's not been any fun having to go through withdrawals every couple weeks as I pace down....
But, the whole reason for telling you this story is to say.... With each of the 10 withdrawal tapers I've experienced so far... I've used your binaural beats programs consistently and they truly triangulate my brain waves and calm the nervous system (keep my brain busy so my nervous system can calm down) and the guided imagery and self hypnosis has helped me to deal with break-through memories that have come up at the weakest point during a taper.
I honestly don't know how I would have made it this far if it were not for the "Internet of the Mind". I just wanted you to know how much I love you for caring enough to help people like me!
