As I continued to practice in spite of my fear of panic, I began to learn a level of "trust" that I had not known before.  I began to learn to trust that this program did in fact work, that nothing bad would happen to me, that panic couldn't hurt me, that I would in fact achieve my full recovery and cure.  The key word here for me really was "trust."  And do you know what happens as you gradually learn a deeper level of trust?  Panic and anxiety dissolve.
