Testimonial - CBT for panic attacks and long term generalised anxiety

January 23, 2020 Sarah McCartney

Since my early twenties I had experienced periods of heightened anxiety and panic attacks. The first panic attack was absolutely terrifying. I did the old head in the sand technique. From time to time I would read a self-help book or watch a self-help DVD. I found that it was one thing reading something but it was another thing putting it into practice.

It came to a head when I was at my lowest ebb recently. I had become really depressed and desperate because of my symptoms. I felt so confused and I didn’t know what was going on. I decided to seek professional help and guidance.

I came to see Sarah after reading other testimonials. I am writing this testimonial because it might encourage somebody to seek professional help rather than struggling on their own. From someone who was a doubter I am living proof that CBT can help someone. I no longer have panic attacks and I manage my anxiety very well. I have a different outlook on life, because I no longer worry about when am I going to be anxious again. I no longer fear it.

As a tradesman I appreciated that we followed a logical and well structured protocol in the therapy. The sessions with Sarah built upon each other and we monitored my progress. I had been worried that therapy would be “fluffy” and would not suit me. There was nothing “fluffy” about it. Therapy was in a nice easy environment but also very focused. I felt in good hands.

Towards the end of the sessions Sarah presented me with some graphs of my progress and that alone was amazing. This was tangible evidence of the fact things had gone the way I had wanted them. I knew I felt better but it was great to actually see it. Thanks Sarah.
