I was totally bewildered when I had my first panic attack on an aeroplane in Dec 2002. I scoured the Internet for advice but found nothing that seemed to work.
I came across "Understanding Panic Attacks and Overcoming Fear" a month or so ago and found that this book was describing everything that I'd experienced and answered many of the questions I'd been searching for.
I had been prescribed anti-depressants for the panic attacks. This book has given me the confidence to come off the medication (gradually!!!) and try some of the "personal experiments" Dr Roger Baker suggests.
I thoroughly recommend "Understanding Panic Attacks and Overcoming Fear". I can honestly say that it has changed my life!!

If you suffer from panic attacks you must get this book. I had a terrible time with panic attacks that totally ruined my life. I had severe panic attacks for five years and did not understand what was happening to me and woke up most mornings just wishing they would go away.
The day someone gave me Roger Bakers book on Understanding Panic Attacks and Overcoming Fear, was the first time in years that I felt a sense of release. It reassured me I was not going crazy and that panic was a thing that can and could happen to the strongest of people.
I had just created a big fear of them and in turn over the years, made myself worse. When I started on the book it took me a bit of time to do as he said, probably as I think at first when you start taking into action what Roger Baker tells you, in the book you are a little wary. You even convince yourself that it could not possibly work for you, and I was also very very scared of panic. The thought of going into a situation where they are sure to come on and to let them come, was very hard for me.
Eventually I followed the book and found his methods to work very well and might I add it was very easy to follow. Over time I now live free of panic and it is the best thing ever. When I say free of panic, I may get the odd panicky feeling about twice a year or so. Thanks to Roger Baker I fear them no more so it's just uncomfortable like getting a headache, but I go on as normal and it soon passes.
This is a great book and Roger Baker is an amazing man that helped me to change my life and now I can live a happy life again. God bless Roger Baker and anyone that has to go through the same journey as I did.
