Is an agoraphobia cure fact or fiction?

I get asked so often, whether an agoraphobia cure is possible and if it is possible, whether the agoraphobia will ever return. It actually amuses me that psychologists and medics peddle their scare-mongering about ‘anxiety management’ and ‘coping strategies’ when what they really want to say (but can’t) is ‘I don’t have a clue what to do!’

An agoraphobia cure is, in fact, not only, entirely possible, but it has been achieved by millions of people worldwide. We have helped tens of thousands of people to recover from agoraphobia using our agoraphobia cure, so we know from experience that agoraphobia is not a condition which requires management or coping strategies.

How is agoraphobia caused?

The emotion of anxiety, or fear, is unique in that it produces extreme physical manifestations, but also in that the fear reaction is adaptable; it has to be adaptable in order to react appropriately when confronted by risk of varying degrees and after that risk has subsided, the body must return to its ‘normal’ anxiety level. In anxiety disorders and agoraphobia, this doesn’t happen; the anxiety level gets stuck in the ON position as the brain takes the decision that the sufferers environment is high risk. It makes this decision based on feedback received from sensory organs, the eyes, the ears, the nose etc. When a person is inappropriately anxious, the sensory organs perceive the situation as risky and feeds back to the subconscious mind to adjust the anxiety level UP.

In agoraphobia, the anxiety sufferer uses geographic movements as a process of anxiety management or safety seeking. An agoraphobia cure must address the core anxiety reaction in the anxiety control center of the brain… medication and classic psychotherapy just can’t reach the part of the brain responsible for this reaction.

An agoraphobia cure is entirely possible but must follow a simple but structured program which undermines and removes the anxious reaction which causes and perpetuates it. An agoraphobia cure MUST NOT place the sufferer under any undue stress by forcing them to travel places or increasing their anxiety levels unduly. An effective agoraphobia cure addresses the agoraphobic behaviors whilst directing the cure at the core anxiety condition.
