My name is Alison I am 62 years of age and live in park ridge Queensland Australia. I would like to share with you my testimony regarding panic and anxiety attacks.

I am reading this out and apologies for that but it is the only way I can relay my testimony and can become very emotional when referring to Barry and his book Panic Away. I have no apologies for this. Last night as I thought about what I wanted to say I realized I have had panic/anxiety attacks for the past 57 years. From 2000 to Christmas 2006 a day did not go by that I did not have a panic/anxiety attack, and some of them were more than full blown ones…[ed]

I will now finish with what my granddaughter said :
“Barry thank you for giving me back my nana”
This nana and great grand mother of two is now writing a book and has a second in mind. At the age of 62 I am starting a life I dreamed of living for over 50 years.
