From the author: "Despite my reservations about openly sharing my story, I strongly feel that this is a book that I needed to write. You have to give to receive, and this book is a gift to anyone who may be experiencing problems with panic attacks, or who have loved ones who are struggling with this problem. I know that there is someone out there who will be helped by this short book. I hope that you are this person.

I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist, doctor, therapist, or counselor. I am not rendering medical or mental health advice. I am simply a person who experienced a sudden and unexplainable problem with panic attacks, and who was able to overcome this problem. I have lived through this experience and feel that I have a story to tell which may potentially help other people. It is in this spirit of sharing that I write this book, and I hope that you find something of value in my story."
