Medication Free Success of Anxiety, Panic, and Agoraphobia

For a Fairly small book it is "huge" with information, sincerity and punch. The author made this read easy, packed with the account of his affliction with "panic attacks, anxiety and agoraphobia". It's the first book Ive read that has made my battle with the same afflictions a doable goal "without medications". The purpose of the author's story is written with sincerity and the hope of helping other people to overcome obstacles of debillitating disorders. I liked it so much that I sent it to my sister who is also a sufferer (of many years). I used his suggested guides to recovery before I even finished the book. I have hope, thank you thank you, thank you! Vicky Day Las Vegas

Real Help

This book gives the reader a vivid description of the life-stealing realities of panic attacks and agoraphobia. Rafe doesn't stop there, though. He outlines his own journey to take back control over his life. Instead of turning to medication, he used simple, yet effective strategies to recover. As a counselor, I recognized many of the strategies that Rafe successfully used. I will definitely recommend this book to anyone I work with who is struggling with high anxiety, panic attacks or agoraphobia.

Panic attacks are getting better

This is a great book for me because I can relate to the author. Some of the things he describes are exactly what I'm feeling. I'm using the approach he describes when fighting off a panic attack. It's getting easier to deal with panic attacks now. I'm looking forward to the day when panic attacks will be gone forever. Thanks for sharing your story.

Tremendously insightful book

Of all the books I've read on panic disorders, this was by far the easiest one for me to connect with. The author's style of writing made me feel as though he was an old friend having a conversation with me. As a sufferer of panic attacks, I felt like this book most accurately captured how I feel when panic sets in. The book was such an easy read, I passed it along to my family, and they found it very helpful. The author delivers his message in plain English. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has any experience with panic disorders.

Exactly what I needed to overcome anxiety!

I really connected with Rafe as I read about his experiences with panic attacks and agoraphobia. It's good to know that someone has been through the same things that I'm going through now, and to know that panic attacks and anxiety are not going to be permanent for me. I love his conversational tone. He explains things in a way that is easy to understand. He also states early on that he's just an "average Joe" that has lived through this. That's what I was looking for. Definitely no doctor speak in this book. I'm getting my life back! Thanks, Rafe.
