Brenda's Agoraphobia
Story
I
have had agoraphobia since I was 43 years old. I am now 57
years old. It came on very slowly and it got so bad I
couldn't go out at all. I had counseling but it didn't make
any difference. Then I was told to try hypnotherapy which I
did. Gradually, I was able to go out but not on my own. I
still have to have someone with me
but at least I get out life is so different.
Being able to go into a shop, being able to visit family and
to do things I thought I would never do again, I have to
keep on going out and not fall back to how I was. When I go
to the door I just say to myself nothing is going to hurt me
and keep saying that to myself when I am actually outside.
Things get better every day seeing that I was a prisoner for
six years, things can only get better as time goes on.
