From the Author
I have written this book in response to the continued (and highly-gratifying) insistence by my patients that I make this program widely available for people who suffer from Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder. The program has been very successful for many years and for hundreds of patients. It is becoming increasingly unusual because it does not rely upon medications or even need them to work (although they are explained). Instead, the program uses proven methods from three of the most studied non-medication therapies as well as meditation. It differs from other approaches in that it is based upon an understanding of Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder which became apparent to me more than 20 years ago and which continues to be experienced as uniquely helpful. This understanding is explained in the excerpt provided - "The Key To Agoraphobia."
This book takes one through the process of becoming free from Agoraphobia - through the frustration and successes, the tears and the joy. It is my pleasure to at last make this available to all. It ends with the statement: "Congratulations! You have grown wings. Enjoy flying." My hope is that you will start at the beginning and work this program through to the point that these words are addressed to you.
