Treatment of Panic Attacks on
BBC TV: Inside Out
Panic Attacks are a very treatable problem using EFT. In September 2006, the BBC Inside Out
programme aired documenting Andrea's fear of flying and her prior
history with panic attacks. Andrea has kindly submitted the
following article which sums up the degree of her original issue and
how EFT benefited her tremendously in helping her overcome it.
"I suffered from anxiety and panic
attacks for a number of years brought on by a combination of stress
and past events sneaking up on me. The anxiety was mainly triggered
by social occasions and places where there would be lots of
people. Things got so bad that I found it hard to leave the house
and would make up any excuse not to.
I found out about Tania through a
friend but never dared to call her because that would be like
admitting I had a problem!! Things started to get worse and worse
and I even found it hard to get the bus to work and would quite
often have to get off and walk. This happened on the day I decided I
needed to get help. I'd walked to work and still couldn't shake off
the anxiety and all day I really felt 'on the edge'. I was terrified
and had no idea what was happening to me. I came home and couldn't
calm down so that's when I called Tania. Just from one phone call I
immediately felt at ease knowing that someone else understood how I
was feeling. I booked my first appointment and haven't looked back
since.
Tania has a real presence and seems to
know how you are feeling even if you cannot find the right words to
describe it. Her voice is calming and she never seems fazed by
anything you say. After my first meeting with her I felt an inner
calm which I hadn't had for a long time...I actually couldn't wait
to go back! Its amazing how much ground you can cover in one
session, her techniques work really fast. We used EFT, which I truly
believe changed my life. Its so simple but so effective and you can
use it anywhere at anytime. Just having the tools to cope has given
me so much confidence.
One of my biggest fears was flying. I
couldn't stand the thought of being in a confined space with so many
people and being flown to a place I wouldn't know. I worked with
Tania and EFT to get me to the point where I could book onto a
Flying Without Fear course. The day itself was really helpful but
the one thing which got me through the day was EFT. I didn't care
about the funny looks I got while I was tapping, I just wanted to
make sure I took the flight...and I DID!! I have flown several times
since and can honestly say my whole life has changed. I'm so much
more confident and actually enjoy challenging myself to do new
things.
I was afraid to pick up the phone...but
I'm so glad I did...thank you Tania x
Andrea"
