Moca, did you identify the thoughts that led to the panic in the hair salon? If not, you probably would be better off with some medications, until you can figure out what is leading to them. That is what this program is all about, finding out why you are panicking. I feel the way Bygrace feels, that once I found some meds that helped, if not totally cured me, I never wanted to stop taking something again and go back to the panic, except when I had side effects that were unbearable, and then I just tried something new. Perhaps CT will help over time too, but medications help also if you are getting worse.
