Well I went to therapy tonight.  I honestly dont know what the therapist is trying to do. I talked she asked me a couple of question, told me to try yoga or meditation.   That' the only advice she gave.  No other suggestions at all!!  I asked her if she had any good book to reccommend and she said "not off the top of my head, but I can check into it and give you a call.   Shouldnt someone who is counseling on this subject have a book or two to reccommend.  What does everyone else think???Thanks for your replies, I hope everyone is having a nice peaceful night.   Hugs Julie

Hey julie,yes hun i agree with you,this therapist should have had more answers for you,after all what is she there for? Most therapist do have something else to offer,and at least a book to reccommend.I have when to book stores myseft and just look at the ones they had.I go to a doctor who specialize in panic attacks.He is a wonderful doctor,i just thank God above,i was lucky enough to get a good doctor.His tells me to watch my caffeine intake,(no caffeine is better) and to walk every day.Also too try and get at least 8 hours of sleep each night.I find it hard to go to bed at times,and i stay up all night.Back to what i think,i think she could have helped you more! My prayers are with you my dear freind,please let me know how you are doing.Love you my friend,SHEA.................

Sounds a little off to me, but my counselor has had to check on a some things when I\'ve asked her. She hasn\'t give you any coping skills or anything? If not and if you think you need more I would maybe look into someone else. Counselors need to be a good fit. Try to get that book I was talking about. I think you would really like it. Thanks for the hug today too....I needed it. hang in there

This is why I am dragging my feet when it comes to talking to someone. I am looking for help and answers as to why I feel this way. I am scared of getting discouraged by what someone may or may not say. I know that is not a good outlook to have and I need to just take the steps necessary to help myself.
