Hi Ken - I deal with the headaches too - daily migraines. Sometimes starts as a sinus headache, sometimes stress but the worst ones are when I have sinus, stress and emotions (like some confrontation at work or with dh and the kids). I was very excited last week - got through 2 1/2 days with no headache or sinus medicine - Yeah me! The program helped me to recognize the triggers. Right now dh and I are both in between jobs which is VERY stressful. I deal with it with daily exercise, Yoga, keeping myself busy with church activities - I'm in charge of the prayer room, the Pumpkin Patch ministry and I mentor the Youth. And sticking to a routine - for now it's get up, get the kids to school, bike ride or exercise dvd, house stuff, lunch and then from lunch to 5 p.m. job search. Evenings are for relaxing - books, t.v., piano, etc. I'm still having to go back to the "practice sessions" about the perfectionism. But you know what? When life throws us a curve ball I get out my "stress tapes" {my name for the program} dust them off and start all over. They work if you work them. Best of luck! God bless!

berengar, you practically read my mind. (though of course i had this thought about 6 months after you posted, but anyways...)

being in similar situations to when i've had past panic attacks is something that will almost always bring up the nerves. i had a relapse a few days ago, and now i'm working very hard with the self-talk to remind myself that the recurring fear is simply a memory of previous fear, not something new and real. it also helps me to realize that fear is the most easily conditioned emotion, and to think about my feelings in very clinical terms.
