AN ONLINE COURSE FOR AGORAPHOBIA - DR ELAINE RYAN
If leaving home, travelling, standing in a queue or going somewhere alone has become difficult, you do not have to begin with a huge outing. I will help you understand why a place can feel so hard to face, choose a step that fits your starting point, and practise your way towards the things you want back.

WATCH A SHORT PREVIEW
Start where you are.
In this 80-second preview, I explain why the first step depends on what you can do now.
You might rarely leave home; you might already go out but avoid queues, journeys or doing things alone. Both are valid starting points.
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Even an ordinary errand can start to feel complicated.
01 / AT THE DOOR
You get ready, then stop.
The rush of fear arrives before you have even left home. Or you reach the gate, turn back, and feel relief.
02 / IN PLACES
You can go out, with conditions.
A quiet shop may be manageable, but a queue is different. You may need a companion, a quick exit or a familiar route.
03 / BEFORE YOU GO
You plan for every possibility.
You think about a seat, a toilet, the journey home, or what you would do if you felt dizzy or panicky.
For some people the fear centres on a panic attack. For others, it is dizziness, feeling trapped, needing help, or being unable to manage a difficult moment. Agoraphobia can affect your life even if you do not have panic attacks. There is no single starting point. The course begins with yours.
