I can only recommend the HelloBetter panic course. After I had been increasingly retreating over a very long period of time and gradually suffered frequent panic attacks in various situations in life, I was able to break this cycle of fear in a very short time with this course. (…) The panic is now gone and I can move freely again. Really a great help!

I liked the course very much – balanced without feeling like you were being forced into anything. I also found the messages from the HelloBetter psychotherapist assigned to me very helpful and supportive.
