Testimony psychotherapy of panic disorder with agoraphobia.
The case of Miss C.B.
“First I want to thank Mr. Guimpel for his patience and kindness as it has answered all the questions (repeat) I asked him for weeks. Every week my big question was “Is it going to take forever ????ยป, and each time he told me that one day everything will disappear. At first I did not know what I had, at once the fact of having no way to get rid of these crises worse my fear.
But when I realized (thanks to a close friend) that it was panic attacks, I immediately made an appointment because the only thing I wanted was cured. In the Panic Away beginning I was so scared that I was desperate and lost in my thoughts. I did not want to go to class and I did not want to leave my house. But the fact of not being able to live normally disturbed me greatly because I like to live and have fun so it was important for me to heal even though I did not believe too much as a panic attack is very difficult to live.
But over the course of my therapy I realized that I could get rid of it myself and that caused it attack! I feel like I went through hell for 2 months but now I am so happy that I ask myself more questions, as it was not I who had had attacks but someone else! I live every day of my life, I go, I go to the restaurant, I took classes, I have actually taken the course of my life.
Today I want to support all the people who are in my case, I want them to seek counseling to heal definitely not as you say above that it will go away by itself. I am living proof that you can heal forever.
The advice I can give you is: do you trust, be motivated and fight against all your symptoms and do it by saying that one day you will have nothing and it’s just a part of your life! But most important is to apply to the letter that your psychologist tell you because thanks to its techniques and your desire to heal, by believing you will eventually heal. Last thing, do not you shut up and do not avoid what you fear most, because you do not and it will not go so if you please instead beat you, and never lose hope. “
