A member asked:

Any suggestions to get past persistent, severe cardio phobia/anxiety? would go to therapy, but im uninsured. this fear has ruined my life. plz help :(

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Practice : The mindfullness and acceptance workbook, and other similar resources are readily available for people who are determined to kick the phobia habit. It takes practice, but the track record is good if people follow a good program for overcoming crippling phobias. See also: http://anxieties.Com/panic.Php.
