'If you suffer from repetitive panic or anxiety - you CAN recover'

'As you will see, it is possible to make headway with this illness when you 'understand' that panic is all about our reaction to very 'normal' thoughts and feelings (or shall we say 'OK' thoughts and feelings........ is there 'really' a definition of what is normal?!). When you also understand that our minds play 'a little trick' on us and, inadvertently, send us in to 'the panic temptation', we can soon realise that we need to 'do' completely the 'opposite' of what we think we have to do'

This site is dedicated to helping people, like me, who suffer at the hands of repetitive panic or anxiety.

I must admit, I didn't really know what I was suffering from when I was younger, but now I have a much more educated view of what has been a terrifying illness at times. I have created this site because I believe I have recovered from this illness and would like to share my experiences.

You will also see that this has developed into a concept - COPAST - as a 'result' of my experiences. If it's not for you, then simply visit many of the other sites that are available to help you in crisis - as said, this is my personal experience, and my recovery, so read on if you find any parallels!

As I also have a major interest in sport, I can see panic disrupting 'performance' in many other walks of life. To this extent, this website/book may also help people 'understand' what is happening when they panic and how this can affect their performance in life.

As you will see, the problem with both ‘fighters’ and ‘flighters’ – is that we don’t realise we have a natural ability to cope – and thus, go further than we need to.

You will see how this concept still applies, even if the 'flighter reaction' is  completely the opposite re - a frequent 'loss of control'.

Your feedback is always appreciated and any comments will also help to improve this site and help other sufferers see they're 'not alone'.
