Susan suffered from severe anxiety since adolescence. She experienced multiple panic attacks every day often until she fainted. These panic attacks filled her with dread, especially because they adversely affected both her professional and personal life. She was unable to sustain any job or form romantic relationships. 10 years of weekly psychotherapy sessions provided her with a positive environment, or as she put it “to be listened to and unburdened from accumulated pain caused by anxiety and panic attacks during the week and prepare for the same in the next week”. However, her symptoms remained unchanged.
When Susan moved to London, she approached me for help. In our consultation I questioned her reasons for wanting to continue having weekly psychotherapy, given that after 10 years of it she was still suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. Both she and her previous therapist believed than her anxiety disorder and panic attacks were not curable but only manageable.
Susan agreed to try my holistic therapy. During our first session, when our time was almost up, it became clear that she was dreading the underground train journey home for fear of a panic attack. For her to endure more of the same was unbearable to me. Instead of waiting another week for further help, she agreed to shorten the consultation so that she could receive my holistic therapy healing in the remaining 15 minutes of time.
When Susan came to see me a week later for her session, she reported that she had managed to go through a whole week without suffering a single anxiety or panic attack. She was then ready to begin working on other long-term debilitating issues. Susan progressed rapidly with each session, resulting in many positive changes. Susan gained self-confidence, found a secure job, has a loving marriage and is living a happy and joyous life.
