Biography:

Jim Folk suffered with anxiety disorder including debilitating panic attacks, from 1974 to 1986. During those 12 years, he had undergone countless tests; sought the help of numerous medical and mental health professionals; traveled to a clinic in Mexicali, Mexico; had been prescribed numerous medications; tried herbs, vitamins, diets, alternative therapies; and a host of other treatments in an attempt to regain his normal health.

In the summer of 1985, Jim came in contact with a psychologist who understood anxiety. Jim’s personal experience with anxiety and his comprehensive research, coupled with the psychologist’s reassurances, helped Jim to turn his condition around. In 1986, Jim stopped all medication and in 1987, he regained his normal health.

Jim continues to enjoy normal and medication-free health today (over 21 years).

In 1989, Jim began working with others who were experiencing panic and anxiety disorders. In 1992, he wrote the book “Recovering from Panic Attacks,” and in 1996, he developed the Web site www.panicattack-help.com.

Today, in addition to Jim’s role as president of anxietycentre.com, he offers personal coaching services to individuals and small groups from around the world, leads anxiety disorder support groups in the Calgary area, and is a public speaker that presents to corporations and organizations, and at conferences and seminars.
