“Michael Is A Rare Example of Great Clinical Skills, Deep Scientific Knowledge”
“Michael Norman is a rare example of great clinical skills, deep knowledge of the scientific literature, and an extraordinary ability to teach.
Having the continuous pleasure of discussing psychotherapy issues and Ericksonian hypnotherapy with Michael, I have first hand experience of his great knowledge and attention to human behavior, and how he helps people create positive changes in their lives.
I strongly recommend Michael, both for people who want to be helped in finding quick and effective ways to solve their problems, and for those who want to increase their knowledge about anxiety, therapy and hypnotherapy.”

“No One Else Does—or Can Do—What Michael Does”
“I'm a medical doctor who’s had a full time psychological practice for 15 years, and I've known Michael for almost all of this time.
No one else DOES or CAN do, what Michael does.
He possesses a deep understanding of the research, spanning several scientific fields - from the psychological, to the biological, and to the medical.
He has very rare skill-set as a therapist.
He’s never been afraid to go against or stand up to the "system".
And on top of this, he’s been able to package his approach in a way that's simple enough for anyone to use for themselves.”

I’m a Licensed Therapist—And Michael’s Work Felt Like Magic
“I went to Michael after 6–8 months of panic attacks—nothing was working. And I’m a mental health therapist! But in one session, they were gone. It’s been four months now, and not one panic attack. Whatever he did… it was powerful. To me, it was magical.”

“Michael is one of the best in the world.”
“I’ve known Michael for over 20 years. In my view, he is one of the best.
He will leave no stone unturned, no avenue unexplored, to help you move forward and feel free again.
Michael’s work will promote major shifts in even the most chronic and debilitating of anxiety-based states.”

“Michael Does What No One Else on the Planet Can Do!”
“As a neuroscientist specialising in mental health, I believe in people's ability to heal from psychological issues. However, as someone struggling with severe anxiety, my life was shrinking, and I seemed unable to apply my own wisdom to myself. I felt like a huge fraud.
Since my teenage years, after two challenging experiences with psychoactive substances, I dealt with recurring dissociative panic attacks and persistent rumination. My baseline anxiety was extremely high, and I felt agoraphobic. Large, open spaces triggered an overwhelming sense of unreality, making me feel as if I were 'floating.' This caused me immense social and professional issues. Above all, I longed to be my relaxed, carefree self in all situations.
Michael's work has completely transformed my life. He does what no one else on the planet can do! I am incredibly grateful to Michael, and urge anyone dealing with any limiting state/psychological pattern to get in touch with him. Our deepest-held beliefs about our inability to recover are mere illusions. These misconceptions dissolve when we tackle the root causes of our issues. Crucially, this doesn't require brute force. It's all about simply changing strategies.
Thank you so much again, Michael!”

As a Doctor, I’ve Never Seen Change This Fast
“I saw Michael for just 7 minutes - that was all it took for him to totally wipe out my very difficult and distressing problem.
In all my years as a doctor I haven’t known any psychologist or medical professional who can create change of that magnitude so quickly, but the results speak for themselves: two years down the track the problem is still gone and it happened so automatically and easily.”

“You Saved My Life”
“Panic attacks made my life feel like hell. I couldn’t travel. I couldn’t think about anything else. I spent so much money on professionals and mental health specialists—but I was just more afraid. Now I’m panic-free. You saved my life.”
Mohammad Ullash, Bangladesh

“Michael Norman saved my livelihood”

Panic Gone After 14 Years
“Michael's work made me panic free!
My first panic attack was 15 years ago, and I had a belief that my heart would stop at any moment. That thought deepened and eventually ruined my life. I thought my life was about to end.
I had so many failures before, nothing really helped me, but I’m at the opposite side right now.
At this moment, as I’m sitting here, I’m more than happy to tell you that I no longer have panic attacks and I’m panic free for about 1 year [update: now 8 years].
I would like to express my deepest gratefulness for your work that allowed me to live my life again.”
GABOR PALLOS, United Kingdom

“Michael, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“Before working with you, I was very much at the mercy of my feelings and scared stiff of getting mental and physical panic sensations in certain situations.
Now, with the panic feelings no longer materialising, I’ve accessed clarity in my thinking which has enabled me to see things in a more realistic light.
No longer having panic attacks has given me a sense of freedom, an awareness of space, and I’m beginning to trust that the Universe is indeed a benign place and not out to get me!
For the first time in many years, I’m accessing the latent creativity which had lain neglected and dormant in me all this while… and I’m embarking on new art and craft courses.
Michael, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love what you’re doing. Big hugs.”
Marion Gunn, United Kingdom

I Feel Like I’m Living a New Life
“After a panic attack sent me to the ER, I felt dizzy, confused, and terrified I was going to die. Now I feel calm, I can’t even remember what the panic was like, and I see life with different eyes.”
Gustavo Estrada, United States

“I see life with a different eyes”
“In my first panic attack I ended up in an emergency room thinking that I'm going to have an heart attack, and from that day I ended up in a vicious cycle of panic that I couldn't find my way out of.
My panic was very intensive that I couldn't sleep at all. I was very very nauseous and I lost a lot of weight!
Honestly my world became very very dark, I felt so lost, scared and confused.
I lived every single day with a thought that death is going to happen from a heart attack or stroke, until I found Michael.
Michael helped my brain understand at a very deep emotional level to not fear those body sensations caused by high amount of anxiety.
Now that I've come back to a normal life thanks to Michael, I see life with a different eyes...
Thank you so much for being here and helping people in need to overcome this terrible experience!
Love, Imrane”
Imrane Shurdhani, UNITED STATES

“Thank you for giving me my life back”
“Dear Michael,
I want to thank you for giving me my life back.
I began to experience my attacks non-stop for 4 months before accidentally finding your YouTube video (5 facts and 2 techniques.)
I had no idea what was happening to me. The fear was 24/7, and I couldn't even function. I even began to fall into a depression.
I had always been strong and able to conquer anything. My panic experience brought me to tears. I had no idea how to explain what I was going through.
At the time, I was going through so many life changes at once, and on top of that I was still learning to use a CPAP machine (I mention this because, looking back, I theorize this was the cause of my initial panics.)
My panic attacks came within days after major surgery, and I had feared that the narcotic pain relievers they gave me did something to my brain. My biggest fear was that I would never be normal again. I just wanted to be the way I was before.
It's been 2 weeks since my last panic false alarm, and I can honestly say that I do NOT fear another panic false alarm. Because not only do I feel comfortable with any body sensations, but I know that if I ever do get another false alarm, I know exactly what I need to do.
And just like you promised, I no longer have the traumatic memories of prior false alarms. This is huge, because the memories used to trigger the panic easily.
Thanks for all the work you do to help sufferers like me.”

No More ER Visits, No More Panic
“I had been experiencing panic sensations (unknowingly) for months and it escalated to full on panic attacks resulting in 4 ER visits between Aug 3rd and Sept 8th.
I was told I would need to see a psychiatrist and go on meds. That's when I started researching. I stumbled upon Michael Norman on YouTube and my life was forever changed.
(That) was exactly a year and one month ago. I haven't had a panic "attack" since that one video and haven't been back to the hospital.
I was so impressed and looking for relief from the sensations that I decided to do your entire program. Words cannot express how grateful I am. Now if I occasionally get a false alarm, it doesn't frighten me and never escalates because you have given me the tools to overcome it.
After reading the many experiences and testimonials of Micheal's other subscribers not only was I comforted in knowing that I am not alone, but I became very aware of how fortunate I am to have been spared years of ongoing anguish. Thank you forever.”
Lee Wilkins, UNITED STATES

“I haven’t had a panic attack since May 2019”
“I am no longer controlled by the fear of having another panic attack.
I started having panic attacks in October 2018 due to extreme stress. I felt as though I just couldn't cope anymore, which is unusual for me as it takes a lot to overwhelm me. After two incidents of going to the emergency room for what turned out to be panic attacks, I sought a permanent solution.
Meditation was recommended to me and that started to reduce my stress levels, but did not resolve my panic. The best I was offered from my doctor was medication, which I was not interested in. So I started doing a lot of internet research and came across the Panic Free TV foundation series. It explained exactly what panic is and how the cycle of it can produce more panic. And I knew this is what I was looking for.
I have not had a panic attack since the end of May 2019. This is quite remarkable as I contracted viral meningitis at the end of June and the symptoms and after-effects of it are fairly severe.
I truly think that Panic Free is the best and most practical solution to breaking the cycle of panic.
Thank you again for such an amazing program!”
Megan Evans, CANADA

“After our one-on-one call, the panic just went away...”
“After our one-on-one call, the panic just went away, the anxiety went away. It was as if I’d never had any problems. I didn't worry about [them] anymore, it didn't have any fear. Before I panicked constantly thinking ‘gosh, when’s the next panic attack coming?’"
SHARON ADAMS, UNITED STATES

From Housebound to Living Life Again
“I was house bound when I started your programme. Now I walk the dog alone, have friends over (which I could not do before), drive and go supermarket shopping. I have also attended some courses. I also love the Instant Calm audio - it really works like no other relaxation audio I have listened to before. Thank you so much for dedicating your life to this - you are a gift.”
Marie Honey, UNITED KINGDOM

From Housebound and Sobbing… to Panic Free
“I was in a really bad place with my panic. I remember I was sobbing, wondering how I would get through the day.
Michael completely transformed my thinking. I went from unable to leave my house, barely eating, unable to be around family and friends to getting my life back.
I can now enjoy all the things I love and live my life panic free. I am beyond grateful!!”
Miranda McCoubrey, Canada

“One Of The Best Decisions I've Ever Made”
“I was a client of Michael’s, and I wanted to record this testimonial because I want people who suffer from panic attacks to know that it’s possible you don’t have to. And I know that it’s because of the work that I did with Michael.
A little bit of backstory: I woke up one night in the middle of the night having a panic attack. I’d never had one before, and I was completely and utterly terrified. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had.
After that, I suffered from debilitating anxiety for several months, and it was during that time that I scoured the internet looking for answers. I came across Michael’s YouTube channel, bought his self-study programme, went through it, and then decided to work with him one-on-one. I can tell you it’s one of the best decisions I ever made.
Through his compassionate support and deep understanding of panic attacks, I was able to have a profound shift around mine. I had a visceral experience that made me realise I didn’t have to have another panic attack. It just completely took their power away.
So if you’re considering working with Michael, I can’t recommend him enough. It could possibly change your life.”
KENO POWERS, USA

Freedom After 20 Years of Panic
“Hi Michael, I wanted to write to you and thank-you from the bottom of my heart for your life-changing work.
I suffered from Panic Disorder and false alarms for around 20 years. I mainly had false alarms in social situations and it affected friendships and I missed many opportunities with work. Honestly, I was a little dubious and was hesitant to spend the money but I am SO glad I did. You gave me my freedom back and that is priceless.
You instantly made me feel at ease, you really care! Your calming voice & the way you empathized made me feel like I was not alone & like I had a friend there to guide me on my way to healing.
I have also suffered with anxiety & depression and have suffered with dissociation after a series of traumatic events in my life. By dealing with my false alarms, I have to say that it has had a flow-on effect and has helped a lot in relieving a lot of my anxiety and other issues.
I am getting married at the end of this year and I feel like now I can truly enjoy the day, instead of being petrified of having a false alarm. I also have peace of mind knowing that if I ever come face to face with a false alarm again, I have the tools to get me back on track and that makes me feel very confident!
I can't thank-you enough, I highly recommend your work to anyone.”
GENEVIEVE LAKER | AUSTRALIA

One Session. One Sentence. Everything Changed.
“I used to dread getting on the highway—especially if my husband was in the car.
When I told you during our session that I was going to drive on the highway with him, I was in full panic mode. But your [one sentence] reaction completely flipped the switch for me.
Even though we had only one session over a year ago, it’s helped me immensely. I no longer panic while driving on the highway. You really know ‘where to tap,’ and I just couldn’t believe you fixed my ‘engine’ so easily.”
Andre Zanki, CANADA

I Got My Life Back—and Became a Better Person

A Lifetime of Experts, No Relief—Until I Found Michael
“I experienced anxiety every day. After a virtual lifetime of psychiatrists, psychologists, books, pills, and meditation—nothing worked. Now it’s gone. I am now its master.”
Frank Cav, UNITED STATES

From ER Visits and Medication… to Freedom From Fear
“Hi Michael, I wanted to share my experience. My story starts about three months ago, when out of nowhere I began having massive panic attacks. I ended up in the hospital, with tons of tests being performed to see what was going on.
The doctor told me I was healthy and simply experiencing very bad panic attacks. Dealing with this for weeks and feeling lost, lonely, and vulnerable, I finally contacted my family doctor. Unfortunately, I was put on anxiety medication. I wasn’t a fan of medicine, so even after I began the daily dosage, I searched panic attacks on YouTube—I needed to find the root cause.
Your videos were the first I came across. After watching your free content and using your 30-minute relaxation video to sleep, I instantly noticed a difference. I couldn’t believe how quickly your teachings helped me overcome these fears and anxiety feelings. You really guided me to understand what it meant and how the body worked to protect itself.
I will share your work till my last breath, knowing that you will help heal other people just like me. You are a godsend, and I can’t thank you enough. I hope one day I’ll be able to shake your hand and thank you in person. God bless you and your family.”
Steve Castro, Canada

From Rock Bottom… to Stronger Than Ever
“I found Michael Norman several years ago when I was going through one of the darkest and most debilitating challenges of my life.
I was struggling with daily panic and anxiety, and had gotten to the point where I couldn't function in my job or even do little tasks like driving or grocery shopping. It's hard to put to words how horrible and limiting this experience was.
Michael helped me turn my emotional state around completely.
I am so happy to say that I haven't experienced a panic episode in three-and-a-half years! I feel more brave, confident, and strong than ever before.”
Charity, UNITED STATES

“All the pain and suffering is gone.”
“I can't find the words to express my gratitude. For 3 years I was struggling with pills and panic attacks. I was in very bad shape. Thanks to you I was able to complete my recovery. I'm 100% panic free, my life is getting better and better, and all the pain and suffering is gone.”
Manuel Huaman, UNITED STATES

“So different From anything I’ve done. A life-changer for me.”
“[Working with Michael is] so drastically different than anything I’ve done. It’s really been a life-changer for me.
I can tell you over the past several years since I had my first session with [Michael], I can fly now. And, if you wonder if the changes can be automatic, they 100% can be.
I have had panic attacks since I was a little boy and particularly got triggered when on a plane. After my very first session with Michael, I got on my next plane ride and I was literally laughing with my wife. We were laughing! That was an experience I hadn’t had in a very long-time.
There have been absolutely dramatic, impactful shifts that have taken place for me very quickly. This was after the very first session—so imagine doing several and watching your life shift and change dramatically as you go along this path.
It’s been a really nice shift to work with Michael, as opposed to traditional therapy where, yes, there are some wonderful things about traditional therapy, but Michael can get results for ME immediately.
I struggled with panic attacks from 5 years old. To have someone embrace me, and embrace my stories and help me learn and understand and grow throughout this process has been amazing. I really encourage you to work with him. A very different modality, and fun.”
Nathan Hall, UNITED STATES

From Trauma and 13-Hour Panic Attacks… to Freedom
“I went through a series of mental and physical traumas that left me with a completely dysregulated nervous system—rolling panic attacks, sometimes lasting 13 hours, and a constant feeling of drowning. I thought I’d never come back from it. My world had closed in; I was even terrified of going for groceries. Then I found Michael Norman. I felt results almost immediately.
The anxiety is gone and the shadow that had followed me for years finally lifted. I have my life back—no anxiety, just gratitude. Michael Norman is some kind of angelic being come to this earth.”
Brent Postlethwaite, CANADA

“I thought I would never live a normal life… now I feel reborn.”
“When I first started, I thought I was never going to be able to live a "normal" life. I was constantly in fear and nervous of the next scary moment that I was not able to control since I was broken.
Working with Michael has changed every single paradigm I had on how I live my life and on who I am. It has made me a lot more compassionate with myself and finally understand so many important, valuable things.
To say that it changed my life would be an understatement, because I feel like I was reborn into a version of me that was right there, but I refused to believe in.
Thank you, god bless you for the immense impact you had on my life, and I'm sure in the life of a lot more.”
Alejandra Luna, United States

From Panic and Agoraphobia to Total Freedom
“Simply walking the dog in a town used to be too scary. Well, the leashes are out already (ready for the summer).
Driving has become simple (like the good old days), and if I wanna go somewhere, I get in the car and go. I popped into town today, alone to pick up a package. I didn't even think about it.
Now that I have the panic and agoraphobia stuff under control... I'm feeling very expansive. (With my) confidence, the sky is the limit. I'm so looking forward to this summer, being my new self!
Thank-you, thank-you Michael for giving me my freedom back! It's a new world and a New Day. What a difference you have made in my life already.”
Judith Anderson, Canada

A Couple’s Journey Back to Calm
“Your program has really helped my wife and I! We had been going through a super stressful and prolonged family situation that eventually overflowed into our day to day lives in the form of (us both having) panic attacks. We have watched the program together and it has helped both of us a great deal! If you are ever in Southern California, look us up! At the very least we can take you out to a nice dinner! We appreciate you, Steve.”
STEVE & ANN, UNITED STATES

From Hospital Trips to Healing and Gratitude
Hi Michael! Thanks literally for saving my life. It has been 6 months of escalating panic and anxiety. Recently getting worse and daily. I have been to the hospital 5 times for suspected heart attack and the doctor has prescribed anti inflammatory drugs for 2 separate pathologies.
Basically, what a nightmare.
I swallowed your entire program whole. These tools and skills are true life hacks and skills for life. Everyone should know this stuff.
I have with great pleasure recommended you and will carry on doing so as I keep recalling the amazing stories about Delhi and Mexico city.
I hope I have the opportunity to meet you one day and thank you in person. It has been such a ride. And I now add panic and anxiety in my gratitude list. Before this I did not truly know myself well. This has been a revelation.
Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart.

From Anxious to Free—in Just 45 Minutes
“I felt anxious every time I left my house, and it had a big impact on the way I was living my life. Eight months ago, I spent 45 minutes with Michael… and what he did was amazing. I felt calm and relaxed, and my anxiety associated with leaving the house is no longer a problem.”

“The Best Help I’ve Ever Received”
“I purchased your program sometime last year when I was having severe panic attacks every day for months. I had very bad inflammation from some breast implants which were making me extremely unwell.
I cant thank you enough for helping me through such a traumatic experience in my life.
It brings tears to my eyes thinking of how much of a genuine compassionate effort you put into that program and i will be forever grateful!”

From Fear of Losing Control to Panic Free
“I had my first panic attack due to stress at work, and soon after that I had a few more. It was one of the scariest experiences I have ever had.
The worst part for me wasn't the actual panic attack, but what came after - intense feeling of fear, anxiety, uncertainty about the future, fear of never being the same again. I was so afraid of losing control and having a bad panic attack.
I found Michael and Panic Free, which was the first thing that really helped me realize there was nothing to be afraid of, I will not lose control. I haven't had a problem since. No fear = no panic.”
Ema, Slovenia

Michael helped me overcome my panic and anxiety
“Michael not only helped me overcome my panic and anxiety, but he educated me on how panic and anxiety works. Which was something I didn't know, and I felt was very beneficial and a key element to the program.
If you are in a state of panic and anxiety, do not hesitate to begin Panic Free! Michael, again thank you so much for what you do.”
Dylan Kain, Slovenia

“Completely Healed Me”

“I am so grateful to have found Michael. His program is amazing, 100% recommended.
I have suffered with anxiety and panic since the age of 8.
I have tried everything, and I can honestly say his program has completely healed me.
Don’t underestimate it, it’s amazing and couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“You Have changed my life”

“Micheal is a kind, patient, extremely talented soul.
I think you again Micheal. You have changed my life and it’s wasn’t complicated or hard.
The programme to freedom is interesting and packed with beautiful and wonderful stories that you continue to remember. It’s all sewn together so beautifully – like a piece of art. you feel like you’ve been on an insightful, eye opening journey of discovery with a friend.”

From Trapped at Home to Walking Free in Regents Park
“Before Panic Free, it was as if my entire nervous system had turned on me. I struggled doing exercise, even walking briskly because I felt as if my heart would implode and my breathing would stop... my home became my fortress because going out even up to the high street was an enormous challenge - every aspect of my life was hit with anxiety. Sleep was my only true solace.
I had tried CBT and that was so counterproductive for me. I'd tried 'dynamic psychotherapy' but that left me with depressing feelings. I'd also tried meds (but) it was a very mixed bag.
Panic Free is about the science of being panic free, but it's also about Michael; his approach is so reassuring, his teachings are so simple yet relevant, his empathy is so genuine. So, though we were literally miles apart it felt like he was here with me, walking the path with me.
It started from the first video when I began to believe there was something here - the sincerity and conviction in Michael's message shone through. However, it was when I started with some of the exercises that I realised it was really working.
To give a single example of the difference Panic Free has made in my life, yesterday I walked through Regents park just outside the university where I work. Before Michael's help I'd feel faint, my heart would be pounding and fear would grip me sending tremors through my entire body. Now, instead of panic, I have a sense of calm and curiosity.
Thanks again, Michael...and my regards to your lovely supportive wife!”
Tony Ukwunna, UNITED KINGDOM

From Fear of Tunnels to Traveling in Peace
“Being Panic Free has changed my life to be so much more free and positive.
I was not able to take the train and go through tunnels. Tunnels do not bother me any longer and neither do the train trips. It has made a huge difference to my life as I can now travel in peace and I have saved so much time in my daily commute to and from the office.
You have made a huge, positive difference to my life. This is best money I've ever spent!
I thank God for your teachings every day. Thank you Michael. I will always remember your contribution to my life!”
Densil, Australia

You Are a Healer
“My life had been crippled by panic and anxiety since 2009. I went through psychiatrists, medications, and over 10 ambulance trips to the ER—but nothing helped. By 2021, I had given up on doctors and suffered quietly, believing there would be no end to my suffering. Then one night I found your site. I was hesitant at first… but since June 20th, I haven’t had a single attack. You’ve changed my life. I feel free. I can breathe again. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Gracie D., Australia

From ‘Lifelong Panic Disorder’ to Freedom Again
“I couldn't go out to eat without feeling extremely nauseous, fearful I was going to vomit. I wouldn't be able to eat, I was so consumed with anxiety and panic that it was a constant stream of anxious thoughts.
My therapist said I had 'panic disorder' and it was going to be something I would have to live with. I (even) got anxiety and panic in anticipation of my appointments with her! I started to be able to predict what she would tell me, and her logic-based reasoning wasn't helping.
Michael, I found your YouTube channel and watched a few of your videos. The way you broke everything down made SO MUCH SENSE, and it clicked with me. You understood.
I weighed the benefits of the $150/session I was paying to see a therapist (without feeling like I was making any progress), and the cost of your program. Insanity is repeating the same thing over again and expecting the same results, and I had to do something different.
Your program is phenomenal. Everything you illustrate and the stories you tell are perfect, it is clear the amount of time, attention, detail, and love you put into the program.
I am forever grateful for your program and what you've done for me. After working through your program, I feel like a burden has left my shoulders, I feel like a better version of myself emotionally. And it has flowed on into other areas of my life too.
I simply cannot thank you enough for offering this program, you have the best heart and I am so grateful we live in an age where you can reach so many people all around the world. Thank you, again.”
Renee Casey, United States

“The Best Psychological Help in the World for Panic”
"After I experienced my first panic attack I became so afraid of experiencing those feelings again that it became difficult for me to even leave the house. The problems I experienced with panic made it hard for me to do any of the things I needed and wanted to do. One morning while trying to get more information on how to help myself I came across Michaels panic free TV series, I watched the foundational series and knew that I had come across something very special.
I truly believe Michael is the best in the world when it comes to providing the right psychological help for people who are experiencing problems with panic. Michael has deep knowledge of what fuels and keeps panic alive and is an expert on providing the psychological tools needed for ending false alarms. It is obvious through Michael's Panic Free program and especially through his one on one work with clients that he is an extremely special person who cares deeply about each and every person he works with. Michael has the amazing gifts of compassion, intelligence, creativity and outstanding communication skills and in every meeting I had with him he invested 1000% of himself into helping me move forward. Even during setbacks, Michael was there for me and continued to help me make the emotional shifts I needed to make. One of the ironies of overcoming problems with panic is that you need to get comfortable experiencing fear in order to conquer fear down the road. I know from my own journey that isn't easy to do and having Michael to support me along the way was invaluable to my recovery.
Michael is a gift to this world and to anyone struggling with false alarms. Thank you Michael for changing my life, I will be forever grateful for you! "

“I Thank God for Answering My Prayer”
“As a Christian, I never thought I’d experience anxiety or panic attacks. My first panic attack occurred while I was at the store when I realized I had waited too long to eat and was worried that my blood sugar was low. I quickly opened and drank a bottle of fresh-squeezed orange juice, but I not only didn’t feel better, I actually felt even worse. It felt like everything around me was getting darker and I was about to pass out, so I started to eat something quickly but my throat was closing up and I couldn’t swallow the food. It felt like my body was shutting down. I even said what I thought was a final goodbye to my daughters who were with me because I literally thought I was dying.
My husband shortly took me to the ER and I felt like I was going to pass out again. They did an EKG, CAT scan, and blood work. Everything came back normal. The next day I seemed to be back to my old happy self. It wasn’t until one night that same week, when I drove to the store, that an overwhelming feeling came over me seemingly out of nowhere. I drove back home as fast and safely as I could. I was so scared, not knowing what was going on with me — my mind and my body. My husband ended up having to hold me and rock me in bed to help me feel calm.
In the weeks to come, he’d have to take time off work to come home and be with me because I wasn’t able to cope through the anxiety without him near me. Sometimes I’d feel physical symptoms so real I thought something was terribly wrong with my health. At times it would feel like my arm was going paralyzed, but most of the time I felt a squeezing pressure on the sides of my head that got more intense as I got more anxious. I paced and walked a lot too — 16k steps a day, never leaving home (indoors and in my backyard).
It was very debilitating as I didn’t feel safe leaving the house for long and always had to take valerian root tea or a calming supplement to help me. I couldn’t drive for 3 months, and I was someone who could jump in my car and drive 10+ hours often. But I lived in a state of fear that another “attack” would catch me by surprise — which stopped all my traveling, even a trip to the nearest grocery store. It was a dark time in my life.
My daughters, who were 7 and 8, had to prepare most of their own meals like sandwiches and easy-to-grab foods because I wasn’t able to cook for them. I was highly sensitive to sounds and would stay in my bedroom most of the day with ocean sounds playing in the background to help keep me calm. Every day, I waited anxiously for my husband to get home, and I would be on the phone with close friends or family as they tried to help me through my thoughts and feelings about what was going on with me. It was easily the darkest and most trying time in my life.
After 3 ER visits and everything coming back normal, my best friend told me she thought I was having panic attacks. It was so hard for me to accept that as a woman of faith. At times I was embarrassed and ashamed, but not enough to stop me from reaching out for help. I had so many fears — afraid I would lose my girls and my family because I felt like I had lost my mind and would be deemed unfit to be a parent. I felt hopeless, like panic and anxiety was my new normal and a life sentence.
After my doctor told me that anxiety attacks were normal and prescribed me Zoloft, I felt so discouraged as I didn’t want to be dependent on medication. Out of desperation, I got on my knees and prayed the most earnest prayer I have ever prayed. I prayed:
“God, there are 6 billion people on this planet. There has GOT to be ONE person that has overcome panic and anxiety. Please lead me to that ONE person that has overcome panic attacks — not just managing it, or coping with it, but has COMPLETELY overcome it.”
I got off my knees and typed into my web browser “Living Panic Free” and a link to Michael Norman’s YouTube videos popped up. I watched the first one and immediately was filled with HOPE. Hope that I could be free from the paralyzing fear and darkness I was surrounded in.
After watching the free episodes of Michael’s Panic Free TV (I would watch them 2–3 times each so I was sure I understood the information), a week later I started Michael’s online course and it was full of so much amazing information. Facing your fears can be extremely scary, but with Michael’s not only professionalism but gentle, understanding spirit, I started believing and building confidence that I would one day make it to the other side. And I did.
Eventually, I learned that fear is the GREATEST illusion. To have overcome something this intensely scary, dark, and seemingly impossible is incredibly empowering. I felt like if I could get through this, I could get through anything else life throws at me. After taking Michael’s course I feel like I got a second chance at life. I’m happier than ever, living panic free again.
I’m glad I can now share my experience with those who are in the same shoes I was and give them hope. I thank God for answering my prayer so quickly and bringing Michael into my life so I could find a permanent solution to end the scariest, darkest days of my life.”

I Couldn’t Believe It—Until I Experienced It Myself
“I now walk through my days ridiculously calm. I find myself being more tolerant and compassionate with others and yet more assertive, confident in myself. And I'm more effective at getting what I want, needs met. And even things that 'set me off' do so with less intensity and for shorter duration. I was beyond skeptical the first time I heard you say the effects [would spread all through my life]. Yeah, right! But I'll be darned if you weren't speaking the exact truth. I was dumbfounded… then ecstatic!”
Alanna, UNITED STATES

“Changed My life”

“I found Michael Norman on the internet years ago when I was really struggling with panic false alarms (as he calls them and I love this). His perspective, academic and science backed point of view changed my life!”

“From a nearly catatonic state of fear and confusion…”
“Michael your program truly changed my life in such a tremendous way.
This time last year I was in a nearly catatonic state of fear and confusion. After finding your program my life was changed and I’ve since moved to a new city among other things I never thought I’d be able to do again (safely of course during this pandemic).
Thank you for all the information you’ve made available for people, and for putting together your life altering program.”

“Michael Does What No One Else on the Planet Can Do!
“As a neuroscientist specialising in mental health, I believe in people's ability to heal from psychological issues. However, as someone struggling with severe anxiety, my life was shrinking, and I seemed unable to apply my own wisdom to myself. I felt like a huge fraud.
Since my teenage years, after two challenging experiences with psychoactive substances, I dealt with recurring dissociative panic attacks and persistent rumination. My baseline anxiety was extremely high, and I felt agoraphobic. Large, open spaces triggered an overwhelming sense of unreality, making me feel as if I were 'floating.' This caused me immense social and professional issues. Above all, I longed to be my relaxed, carefree self in all situations.
Michael's work has completely transformed my life. He does what no one else on the planet can do! I am incredibly grateful to Michael, and urge anyone dealing with any limiting state/psychological pattern to get in touch with him. Our deepest-held beliefs about our inability to recover are mere illusions. These misconceptions dissolve when we tackle the root causes of our issues. Crucially, this doesn't require brute force. It's all about simply changing strategies.
Thank you so much again, Michael!”

From Plane Crash Trauma to Flying Passenger Jets
“After crashing my plane while flying solo, I was plagued by constant, horrifying thoughts of crashing again.
I [always] knew I would be a pilot one day — but after the crash, that dream, which was so close to becoming a reality, was nearly dead.
Michael and I worked together for two sessions so that I could fly solo without any fear or anxiety.
Two years later, I’m absolutely fine. I completed my course last year and now I’m a fully qualified First Officer, flying passenger jets across Europe! I love every minute of it.
Things that used to bother me are long gone, and I fully enjoy what I’ve always wanted to do — fly!
I’ll always be grateful for all your help and dedication. You are truly on the mission, and you change people’s lives.”

Phobia Gone in Just 45 Minutes

From Trauma and 13-Hour Panic Attacks… to Freedom
“I went through a series of mental and physical traumas that left me with a completely dysregulated nervous system—rolling panic attacks, sometimes lasting 13 hours, and a constant feeling of drowning. I thought I’d never come back from it. My world had closed in; I was even terrified of going for groceries. Then I found Michael Norman. I felt results almost immediately.
The anxiety is gone and the shadow that had followed me for years finally lifted. I have my life back—no anxiety, just gratitude. Michael Norman is some kind of angelic being come to this earth.”
Brent Postlethwaite

Michael Literally Saved My Life
“I went from counsellor to counsellor and nothing could help permanently. Michael literally saved my life. After 2 years of emotional agony, grief and pain, I am finally free. I feel like my soul broke through the chains and I am reborn!”
Sabine Leben, Germany.

I Couldn’t Move On—Until This One Life-Changing Moment
“I’ve tried everything to move on—but Michael helped me let go for good. Life changing. Final puzzle piece.”
.
“Real Change, Without Hundreds of Hours in Therapy”
“[From] releasing me into a happier life, after releasing me from an angry life, and then then [changing] little behaviours along the way [for example, stopping smoking], it’s been quite a journey of unlocking things that held me in limitation.
It’s amazing what Michael does. I don’t even know how to explain it, but I know it works—and it’s easy.”
“[From] releasing me into a happier life, after releasing me from an angry life, and then [changing] these little behaviours along the way, it’s been quite a journey of unlocking various things that held me in limitation throughout my life.
It’s really amazing what you do. I don’t even know how to explain it, but I know that it works, and I know that it’s easy.
I like that I’m NOT spending hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to sit here and talk about my problems [as is so common with traditional therapy where ‘nothing really changes’].’
It’s wonderful to just say:
• ‘I don’t like this’
• ‘I don’t like the way that feels’
• ‘I prefer the way this feels’
• ‘I wish I could do this or that’
… and then we do that. We make that happen, together.”
Sara Nightingale, UNITED STATES

Stopped Smoking. Stopped Drinking. Started Thriving.
“One Saturday afternoon I felt desperate to change but didn’t know where to start. Out of nowhere I typed into Google, ‘I want to change my life,’ and Michael’s website popped up.
Since then I’ve stopped smoking and drinking, new positive people and business opportunities have come into my life, and I’ve learned to focus on what makes me happy.
I used to be unhappy at not being perfect—now I’m happy being imperfect, and life feels so much easier.
Michael’s work has made me a better parent, friend, and therapist. I’ve recommended him to people I love, and they just thank me for it.”
Melody Abbott, Australia

From Shy to Speaking Up—Effortlessly
“The very first thing you helped me with was a shyness about speaking up. The change has been effortless—I’m not pushing with willpower, it’s just happening.
This is truly automatic and effortless, exactly as claimed. I’m so happy to have discovered your work, and I’m grateful for it every day.”
David Mahen, UNITED STATES

Even Facing Major Life Upheaval, I Feel Very Good
“Despite breaking with my family, leaving the family business, and facing the uncertainty of moving out on my own, I feel very good. Rather than freaking out about the upheaval in my life, I’ve been able to deal with my internal upheaval.
In the last 24 hours, I’ve felt better able to cope and make decisions, instead of obsessing about wanting to be safe again—only to fall back into the same rut. [You've helped me] with anxiety over finances, social confidence, old issues with my parents, and uncertainty about where I’ll live or what my next career will be.
Now I truly believe—and feel—that I have the tools to commit to new, better choices. The results are obvious already. This is exciting. I’m having a serious kind of fun making my life happen for me.”
Fred Marinko Jr., UNITED STATES

Now I Feel Motivated and Enthusiastic Again
“I feel a lot better and I'm able to change a negative attitude into a more positive one with confidence and enthusiasm. I also feel really motivated and have found enthusiasm to exercise again.”
Jan Piet Enklaar, The Netherlands.

Shockingly Easy: Confidence Up. Cravings Gone. Exercise Easy.
“A month ago, any criticism would have been crushing. But when I got a low rating on a book I published, I thought, 'Hey, look! People are noticing me!' I actually felt excited and moved on with my life.
I’ve also [as a result of us transforming my self-criticism] experienced a seamless shift in my eating and exercise habits. Without exaggeration, I woke up one day and the cravings were just gone.
It’s been shockingly easy to eat better, eat less, and stick to my exercise schedule.”
LAURA, Germany

Flabbergasted To Have Finally Found Something That Works

I’ve lost 19 pounds, I sleep like a baby, and I couldn’t be happier.
“I can’t thank you enough, Michael. I’ve studied more than 50 self-improvement courses and books—self-hypnosis, subliminal messaging, empowerment programs—but nothing ever truly worked. I always knew something needed to be fixed, but I could never pin point it.
My husband has always told me I’m the kindest, most loving person he’s ever met, yet even he noticed a change. After your help, he says I’ve become an even more compassionate, kind, happy woman. He tells me I look years younger, pounds lighter, and incredibly more joyful.
I’ve lost 19 pounds—miraculously, it’s just melted away. I sleep like a baby, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your work.”
Mary De Luca, Canada.

Now I Speak Up With Calm and Confidence.
“Thanks to your work, I feel much better, calmer, and more capable in uneasy and challenging situations.
For example, I was able to confidently discuss with my boss changes affecting colleagues in two departments—changes people had hoped for, for years (including me).
I also feel more confident now, and I’m doing more to reach my desired goals.”
Nick Wendel, Germany

The Positive Changes Were Immediate and Profound
“The positive changes are immediate and profound. You’ve helped me eliminate procrastination, irritability, anger, and impatience—with dramatic success.
I have found absolutely nothing that compares with the power and effectiveness of your work in changing limited behavior patterns. Nothing I’ve tried has produced the instantaneous results you’ve given me.”
Patrick W. Touhey, UNITED STATES.

Alcohol-Free After 10 Years—And Happier Than Ever
“I gave up alcohol after being an alcoholic for over 10 years, and I haven't felt the need nor the desire to have a drink in 3 years. I was a very depressed, stressed, anxious person. Now I am happy & calm. My friends say I am a completely changed person!”
Leena Prasad, Australia

Major Binge Eating Episodes Gone
“I experienced major food binging episodes up to 4 times a week, for the last 13 years. On top of that, I was also turning to food almost constantly, to cope with any emotion that came along that was unpleasant. The continual mental battle with myself about not eating the food, and then the guilt and shame afterwards, was exhausting.
I have an entire bookshelf dedicated to emotional eating books that I have bought and read. I have lost count of how many online eating programs I have completed. (In the past ten years I would have done at a minimum, one per year). And after realising that I was unable to overcome this issue on my own, I had also hired two emotional eating coaches.
NONE OF THAT WORKED!
Working with you, Michael, felt like such a relief as I came to realise that you actually could help me overcome my compulsive eating.
I have been completely binge free since our last session (something I didn't believe was possible after the length of time I have had this issue).
I can also have chocolate, ice-cream, and biscuits in the house [for the rest of the family] now AND I no longer feel any compulsion to eat them.
I feel as though my body is breathing a sigh of relief as I am no longer overfeeding it with too much food and sugar. I am feeling healthier and am finally on the road to losing weight, which wasn't a possibility whilst I was still bingeing. And I am feeling "lighter" in both mind and body. I can put this issue now behind me and move forward in life with confidence.
I’m soooo much happier with life.
P.S. One other amazing thing stands out for me: I still can't eat the biscuits in the cupboard - one of the first things you did with me. Every time I imagine eating them, I automatically think, "YUCK!"
Tammy Perry, Australia

“My GIANT problem is gone!”
“My sugar issue is something that I wanted out of my life... as a sort of 'GIANT' in my life that I wanted out.
I don't have a craving for sugar any longer... the worst time used to be during the menstrual cycle.
I don't feel the need to get something sweet anymore... after eating or during the day or evening.
I will eat yogurt but not desserts as I don't have any desire for them now... which is a good thing!”
Marguerite Garrard, UNITED STATES
