Mine helping in the way that speaking to others and knowing am not alone! I found breathing right when in a panic helps and teach how to switch negative into positives like my problem is I feel like am gonna pass out when in a busy place but now I go out and tell myself I've never passed out so why am I going to do it now! You gotta be strong minded you got to fight it mate

Kevin I am so glad that the CBT course is helping you.&nbsp; My daughter is training to be a counsellor and she said all counsellors use this in UK.&nbsp; She is finding the course really hard, but worthwhile.&nbsp; She would be so pleased to know that this is helping you.&nbsp;

I think it is great that it gives tips on how to control yourself when you feel anxiety coming on.&nbsp; Could you let us know what these tips are.
