Review of the author, Barry Joe McDonagh: The author of the Panic Away program is Barry Joe McDonagh from Ireland, who sometimes refers to himself as Joe Barry. He states in his Panic Away forum that he used to call himself "Joe Barry" because he was embarrassed to have other people know that he suffered from Anxiety. Now he is not longer embarrassed, and chooses to use his complete name, "Barry Joe McDonagh." Joe Barry describes himself to be a previous suffer
of Panic Attacks and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. He is not a medical
or psychiatric practitioner. McDonagh also claims to have "the largest collection of verifiable photo and audio testimonials for any anxiety treatment program online." Joe Barry McDonagh maintains a postal address in New York City, United States, and in Galway, Ireland. |
Review of Barry Joe McDonagh's Writing and Teaching Style in the Panic Away Program: - Casual, not at all clinical, generally correct,
loosely organized Note: McDonagh is quite correct that working through
Anxiety, even with his One-Move Technique in his Panic Away Program,
will require practice, persistence, and an understanding that symptoms
of Anxiety may return in the future. |
Review of the Types of Anxiety Addressed in the Panic Away Program: Barry Joe McDonagh addresses "Anxiety," "Panic Attacks," "Generalized Anxiety," "Night Panic," and "Agoraphobia," He mentions "Phobias,"although does not much differentiate the differences in treating phobias and treating "Agoraphobia." Most of what Barry Joe describes treating his his Panic Away course is "Generalized Anxiety Disorder," and "Agoraphobia." Barry Joe McDonagh provides some helpful specific circumstances and Case Studies where people might experience symptoms of Anxiety, including: Being on a Train w/Anxiety, Driving with Anxiety, Fear of Leaving Home, Fear of Flying, and Fear of Public Speaking, and how they might be assisted with his Panic Away One-Move Technique. |
Review of the Range of Techniques Discussed in the Panic Away Program: The primary Anxiety treatment technique that Barry Joe McDonagh promotes and describes in his Panic Away book, audios and videos is called, the One-Move Technique. He claims that his One-Move Technique has assisted "thousands" of people with their Anxiety, including himself. Joe Barry's One-Move Technique is made up of his own interpretation and combination of "Cognitive Behavioral," "Desensitization" and "Self-Talk" techniques that he claims to have developed himself. [McDonagh also promotes some information, perhaps for our review, about his "21-7 Solution" (21 seconds to stop a Panic Attack with a 7 minute exercise to bring your Anxiety back to "normal." However, at the time of this writing, he has not completed this information and it is not yet available from his Panic Away sales web site. I suspect that at some time in the future he will have his "21-7 Solution" ready for people to review and use.] Barry Joe describes, much more briefly than his One-Move Technique, several other "preventive" and "supportive" techniques and attitudes for treating the symptoms of Anxiety and Panic. Joe Barry also describes something of the relationship between Anxiety and nutrition, including suggested foods to eat and not eat for people who have Anxiety. Barry Joe McDonagh describes his "completely natural" approach to treating Anxiety, and clearly prefers not using prescription medications. Panic Away provides only the briefest discussion of prescription medications for treating Anxiety. |
Review of the Clinical Efficacy of the Panic Away Program: Barry Joe McDonagh's techniques, although not particularly well-organized, are clinically correct and could certainly be expected to be helpful in treating Anxiety and Panic. His Panic Away Program describes his One-Move Technique in great detail, and certainly enough detaili for an Anxiety suffer to understand, learn, practice, and achieve positive results. McDonagh also describes several other techniques and attitudes, also clinically correct, and with a good deal less specificity than his One-Move Technique. For Panic and Anxiety suffers who have some experience in dealing with their Panic and Anxiety, Joe Barry's more brief and less specific description of these techniques would probably be adequate. However, people with no previous experience in dealing with their Anxiety might find his Panic Away descriptions not to be detailed and specific enough to enable them to adequately learn, use and achieve the results. Barry Joe briefly and correctly suggests that even his own techniques, including his One-Move Technique and his Panic Away Program might not result in an immediate and complete elimination of distressing symptoms of Anxiety and Panic. He, again quite correctly, suggests "practicing" his Panic Away techniques over and again, which is certain to be an important part of most, if not all, strategies and techniques for treating Anxiety and Panic. Barry Joe's emphasis on primarily one technique, his One-Move Technique, will no doubt be helpful for some people because of its general simplicity, and lack of confusion with so many other potential strategies and techniques. However, some other people might find Barry Joe's One-Move Technique to be inadequate for their particular needs and may prefer to review other programs. Barry Joe's Panic Away Program also briefly describes how to do some "practice sessions" with his techniques to learn to deal with Anxiety. McDonagh is quite correct in his suggestion that Anxiety sufferers should practice dealing with Panic and Anxiety. Barry Joe's mp3 audio about the "One-Move Live Audio" appears to be intended to be for use by an Anxiety sufferer when they are actually experiencing Anxiety or Panic. If someone had this mp3 audio loaded onto their mp3 player, and had their player very readily available, I would expect that this mp3 audio would be timely and helpful. Barry Joe McDonagh's "Driving Anxiety" mp3 audio file is designed to be used to reduce anxiety before and while you drive your automobile. Panic and Anxiety sufferers using the Panic Away mp3's should surely be very cautious about becoming too relaxed, or otherwise too distracted, to be able to drive carefully, competently and safely. Users of the PanicAway program might want to review these mp3's PRIOR to using them when driving, to see for themselves how distracted they might become. However, assuming that the listener were not distracted by listening to this audio, it could certainly be expected to be helpful in lowering Anxiety levels. Barry Joe's Panic Away videos, viewable online only (not downloadable) are animated, interesting and extremely well done. (I found myself wishing that they WERE downloadable so that I could store them in my computer and review them at times when internet was not available to me.) Some of the information on these videos comes directly from Barry Joe's Panic Away book, and some of the information is in addition to McDonagh's book. The information is generally correct, especially interestingly presented, and emphasizes learning and using the One-Move Technique. Studying and reviewing these online videos could certainly be expected to be an effective means of learning helpful Anxiety coping and reducing perspectives and techniques. Barry Joe McDonagh also provides Panic Away Case Studies providing a diverse review of people suffering from Anxiety and Panic Attacks in a variety of different circumstances, including: Being on a Train w/Anxiety, Driving with Anxiety, Fear of Leaving Home, Fear of Flying, and Fear of Public Speaking. Again, Joe Barry emphasizes using his One-Move Technique, and discusses and describes it from several perspectives. His Case Studies provide another of his many helpful techniques to facilitate learning new information. |
Review of the Ease of Use of the Panic Away Program: Barry Joe McDonagh's Panic Away system is easy enough to download. After purchasing his program, the Panic Away Sales Web Site sends you an email with a link to your download page. From this page, you can download the Panic Away ebook, mp3 audio files, and access to his online videos. Barry Joe McDonagh's One-Move Technique is clinically correct, and easy enough to understand, practice and use. Barry Joe offers several different teaching and learning mediums and perspectives in his Panic Away Program, including: a book, audios, videos, case studies, online forum, and 1-on-1 "coaching" with Joe Barry, through his personal email address. As such, Joe Barry has provided an especially nice variety of modalities in his Panic Away Program to be used in learning is information and techniques. Most people will probably find it more difficult to maintain the discipline necessary to PRACTICE these techniques, than to understand them. Even a brief review of the Panic Away Program would be helpful to begin to understand Panic and Anxiety. The key to using any or all of Barry Joe McDonagh's Panic Away techniques and strategies, including his One-Move Technique, is to learn, really LEARN, not just simply review, the techniques, PRACTICE using the techniques, and actually USE the techniques. McDonagh's Panic Away Forum requires registering at the web site with a User Name, a "Display Name," and a password, fairly standard registration stuff. All information is confirmed with an email to the email address that you provide. At the time of this writing, there were nearly 2500 different "topic discussions" that had been started. This Panic Away Forum has clearly been up and running for a while, with a good deal of participation, including participation directly from Barry Joe McDonagh. For people who like forums, this is a very active forum with plenty of information available for review at any time. However, with most forums, I suspect that users should be cautious of some of the "advice" that non-expert, but no doubt well-meaning, Panic and Anxiety suffers often readily offer. McDonagh's Panic Away Membership Forum includes a "Chat" section where you can chat "real time" with other members who are logged on at the same time.. |

Panic Away ebook, PDF format (Note: Barry Joe McDonagh's Panic Away program is NOT available from the regular Panic Away Sales Web Site IN PRINT FORMAT. You'll have to print it on your own printer. Tech Support available if you have problems downloading the info. HOWEVER, Barry Joe McDonagh's Panic Away Program IS available IN PRINT FORMAT, AFTER you make your initial $67.95 payment, for an additional $39.00 plus shipping and handling costs. Barry Joe describes this in his Panic Away sales process to be a "One-time opportunity to upgrade," and has rebranded his Panic Away Program as "The Anxiety Release Method." Barry Joe McDonagh's Panic Away "One Time Opportunity" web page states that the Panic Away program, to be renamed "The Anxiety Release Method," will in the future be made available in hard copy format "at a much higher retail price" from the sales web site and from Amazon.com |

Review Comments about the Panic Away Program: Barry Joe McDonagh has a well-developed Sales Web Site for his Panic Away Program, including many testimonials for your review, many comments about how good his One-Move Technique is, and an especially well-produced and entertaining animated video about struggling with the symptoms of Anxiety. He also has available a Panic Away "Live Chat" feature if you have immediate questions. Barry Joe has been selling his Panic Away book very successfully on the internet for many years. McDonagh's "Free Mini-Series," available from his Panic Away sales site, and provides 5 email newsletters with "expert advice," delivered to your email by autoresponder. These emails take you to Joe Barry's Panic Away online newsletter / blog, with review information about Panic and Anxiety symptoms and treatment. He also provides many blog comments from people who are relieved to have found his Panic Away Program and One-Move Technique. Barry Joe's 5 free Panic Away newsletters provide additional review information about the symptoms of Panic and Anxiety, as well as superficial information about treating Panic and Anxiety. I expect that to achieve much in the way of actual results, the information in these 5 newsletters would not be adequate to actually treat Anxiety. I purchased Barry Joe McDonagh's Panic Away Program for review directly from him without his knowledge that I was reviewing and comparing his product to other Anxiety treatment products. When I downloaded the Panic Away Program, what I got wasn't quite exactly what he had advertised on his Panic Away Sales Web Site. I sent McDonagh an email about this, and he responded quickly and graciously within 2 days with an answer. He provided me, without my asking, an additional download page from which to download additional mp3 audio files. McDonagh offered the extra Panic Away mp3's to me at no charge. |
