Kim Bassinger was interviewed during an HBO special on Panic Disorder. She described her recovery from Panic Disorder in an unusual but very successful way. During her recovery period she developed a technique to change her negative thinking and attitudes. She decided to talk to her fear. She said, “how do you have so much power over me?” Fear answered, “I get in your face and talk loud!” Then she asked, “how can I defeat you?” Fear replied, “don’t believe a word I say!”
