For those suffering with anxiety/panic

[[Do...]]

Hi Buddies,

You may or may not have heard of Claire Weeks and her therapy to beat anxiety/panic.

I used her method and it really works, i feel no more fear or suffer it and it have become something from the past even now that i am in full WD.

I first heard of her book in a youtube channel that have a long series of videos explaining her method.

I strongly recommend them, both the videos of this channel and her book called "Hope and help for your nerves".

Hope it helps

I am a huge Dr. Claire Weeks fan. I love her voice. I have many of her audio recordings saved on Google Drive.

Coping skills can help with some of the benzo w/d SXs  but benzo w/d is a physiological process that the brain has to go through via reverse neuroadaptation as you slowly remove the drugs and the brain adjusts. IOW, you have to taper slowly and try to endure the w/d sxs as the brain slowly adjusts. It is a very hard thing to do after you have been on these drugs for decades in some cases.

Please avoid CTs and rapid tapers using willpower. That will fail (usually) and can be very dangerous in some cases.
