"We paced along the lonely plain, as one who
returns to his lost road, and till he reaches
it, seems to go in vain. " Dante, "Purgatorio"
The focus of our website is Recovery. We have been teaching people how to recover from their panic attacks and anxiety, for over fifteen years.
Whether it be panic attacks and/or anxiety or an anxiety disorder such as Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or Generalised Anxiety Disorder, the various fears and symptoms keep people trapped no matter no matter how hard they try to break free.
Our approach to recovery from panic attacks, anxiety or an anxiety disorder is meditation and a mindfulness cognitive technique.
Meditation is the oldest cognitive technique in the world. It teaches us to go beyond our chattering, anxious thoughts and can lead us to a place of mental quiet and peacefulness.
It lays the foundation for the development mindfulness as a cognitive based technique that can be used throughout the day. This enables people to learn to see how much of their fear and anxiety is being created. Which in turn teaches people to go beyond their fears, and into recovery
Recovery is a step by step process. If we have been diagnosed as having a panic anxiety related disorder the first step is to fully understand the disorder and to accept the diagnosis.
