5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect read to start you on your recovery 19 July 2003
By Emma Beeken VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I opened this book with a bit of trepidation. I wasn't sure if I would be unleashing yet another panic attack simply by reading it. I have to tell you I was amazed at how calmed I felt. My first impression was that "at last, someone else understands!" and I was truly stunned at how many symptoms I had gotten "used" to, and near enough forgotten about. It was shocking to learn how far I had let my own needs slip, and how many things were all contributing to my panic attacks. It was a real eye-opener and it gave me the confidence to say to myself that I DID deserve to get better and treat myself with TLC. As I neared the middle of the book, I even found myself a little disappointed at the thought that I might not have another panic attack! haha... They are scary, but after having it confirmed that they are no-where near as bad as they feel, I began to find them interesting.
As it turns out, I have had two in the space of a month (about 80% less than usual) and since I had learned a few "tools" to get over them faster, the lingering grottiness that follows was not as bad as usual. Just knowing that I could recover, and also that I could do it largely on my own was a real confidence booster. I have already bought more specific books on yoga, assertiveness and cognitive behavioural therapy, and I am exercising regularly and eating properly, and taking time out for ME when I need to. I have to say, even though I know have a long way to go, I am feeling a lot better already.
If I ever met Christine I would give her a big hug. This book has given me the confidence to get over that very difficult first step and an excellent foundation for the rest of my recovery. Thank you very much Christine! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars This book really helped me, buy it!!!!! 14 Dec 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
After having suffered panic attacks and severe anxiety for nearly a year now i bought three books from Amazon to try and firstly get some information and reasurance and also to hopefuly find some solutions.

This is an easy to read and relativley short book that can be either read cover to cover or dip in and out of as required. The content is very good, well written and offers the reader no matter how many attacks they have had, a lot of confidence and the knowing that thousands of others are going through the same expreiences.

I would totally recommend this book to anyone and i am certain that it will help, good luck to you all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!!!! Fantastic........ 1 Nov 2005
By "shebie"
Format:Paperback
What can I say, - a truly, excellent book based on personal experience. A MUST READ!!!!! Christine is talented in how she comes across with compassion, honestly and humour. I bought this book for my mother who recently started having panic attacks. Having undergone successful regression/psychoanalytical therapy myself a few years ago for depression and an eating disorder, I have a deep interest in psychology and read it myself in 24 hours. For the psychological angle in panic attacks, this book makes you feel invincible, it’s gripping, in-depth, and it has humour, understanding, and compassion in all the right places. My mother is currently on page 30 and is already saying it is of excellent help to her. A truly, remarkable author, thank you, Christine.
