    What Is Recovery?

    It is hard for those of us who suffer from panic or incessant anxiety to believe that life could ever again be normal, especially if we have struggled with anxiety troubles for a long time. But it's possible. The problem is that we often try to obtain better by using the same strategies that helped cause the problem: shaming ourselves, being intolerant of our ideas and feelings, and trying difficult to be perfect.

    Typically, those of us who suffer from anxiety troubles have extremely unrealistic expectations of ourselves. So it's natural for us to view our recovery with similar unrealistic expectations of ourselves: we want a ideal recovery as soon as possible. The more ideal we insist our recovery should be, however, and the more we try to hurry it, the more disappointed we are likely to become in our efforts to obtain well.

    Since anxiety troubles become entrenched in our everyday lives, and since our self-talk is an indelible part of how we think and how we cope with several aspects of our lives, it's likely that very little will alteration at first. Recovery takes time, and the more time we give ourselves, the more stable and long-lasting our recovery will be.

    When we develop a permissive attitude about our panic attacks, when we’re able to let go of our fear of them, they lose their power and eventuate less and less often, until we no longer find ourselves waiting for that next wave of panic from out of the blue. As we gain more confidence and take more risks, we focus less and less on our anxiety and panic attacks. We no longer need to label ourselves “agoraphobic.” We can now observe ourselves as common people; the anxiety or agoraphobia becomes an inconsequential part of our total self-image.

    Recovery does not mean we’ll never feel anxious again; no one can expect to be completely anxiety-free. But the anxiety will diminish and become much more manageable. The more we lower our expectations for a ideal recovery, the sturdier a recovery we can actually bring about. The more time we give ourselves, the sooner we will recover. Such inconsistencies are hard to accept and understand. At first, they seem neither logical nor helpful. However, as you read this book, the a lot inconsistencies of the recovery way will become more understandable. And this understanding will make the recovery way easier.

    Recovery means more than being free of panic or anxiety; it also means personal growth and awareness. In recovery, we look back and realize that we have made it via a very hard time. This realization leaves us with a feeling of amazing accomplishment. We gain valuable insights and learn coping skills that can alteration our lives.
