Joan is a 32 year old Japanese female who enters treatment for what she calls "anxiety attacks". She tells you that, "What if I have one of those awful attacks when I am at the store. What if it happens at a restaurant? Oh my gosh, what if I faint at my daughter's school. I know I will just die of embarrassment". She describes a recent incident in the grocery store where she was standing in line and became sweaty, nervous, and dizzy. She just knew that "everyone was staring at me and I had to drop my groceries and run before they locked me up". She tells you that "no one seems to understand how I feel. Not even my medical doctor believes me when I complain about how awful it is". Joan wants to know if you can cure her forever.
