I have tried many things, including Hypnotherapy. Here is what I have tried and how it worked for me:
The Midwest Center For Anxiety Audio program:
http://www.stresscenter.com/storev6/ helped me a great deal. I learned to cope with anxiety/panic disorder in my life which I was completely grateful for. She also writes a book called From Panic to Power which was somewhat helpful.
Went to a Psychologist who helped me talk about the disorder... sent me into a panic attack just talking about it, but helped a bit I guess.
Went to a Hypnotherapist and this helped tremendously, but still a coping mechanism.
Finally I found
http://www.naet.com/ while I was researching treatment for my son's food allergies. I read that they could help with anxiety+depression too so I went in for treatments for myself and my 2yo son. I was *extremely* skeptical of the claims they made on their web page for curing everything under the sun. But was amazed at how this has changed my life. I am now 100% free of anxiety & panic attacks as well as my high blood pressure, Mitral Valve Prolapse symptoms, and GERD. I love this program because it is 100% non-invasive and non-chemical... just involves a ood practitioner and a back massage. I have absolutely nothing to gain if you try it or not. Just thought I'd share it with you in case it helps anyone else like me. I also don't know if it works this well for everyone, but for me it was a life changing treatment and I am so thankful for getting *me* back. I am on treatment #5 out of the recommended 15.
