    Hypnotherapy could also be very useful.

    Basically, it wasn't the helicopter - it was whatever happened on that day.
    So how likely is it that the same thing will happen again?
    I hope never again.

    I think you need to speak to a therapist / pschyatrist and get a proper diagnosis if need be.
    Maybe speak to a helpline that specialises in trauma.

    The idea that a charity offering to help people with anxiety does so via a premium rate 0844 number costing up to 62p per minute is utterly appalling. What are they thinking?

    It would cost me 50p a minute!

    They do have another number 0333 212 5820 which is free on a lot of calling plans
