Dear Friends:

I welcome you to this web site, and I hope you find the information, inspiration, and ideas you are seeking.

This site is the result of having published the ENcourage Newsletter (a printed publication) for over eight years, reaching many subscribers around the globe.

With the advent of Internet use, so commonly utilized, we opted to provide this site to help many more! We are not affiliated with any particular treatment programs or approaches; we choose to offer a broad array of information and viewpoints to our visitors.

ENcourage Connection is dedicated to providing quality information, inspiration and ideas for those working toward recovery from excessive anxiety, panic and agoraphobia. In so doing, we are committed to sharing supportive material with the expectation that our readers will feel uplifted, empowered and appreciated.

I suppose it's a lucky person who goes through life without being nervously ill. But I wonder: A person who has been nervously ill has widened his understanding, his power to appreciate, to feel compassion, even to enjoy.
