Hi folks,
We're pleased to let you all know that the awesome Dr Aaron Balick is back to help answer your questions about panic attacks and dealing with stress as part of our panic monster campaign.
He'll be answering your questions in the chat room on Wednesday 15th October from 6.45-8pm.
You can see a taster of our last chat with Aaron here.
A bit about Aaron...
What can I ask Aaron?
You may be suffering from panic attacks currently or have done so in the past. You might be unsure as to what you're feeling is actually a panic attack. Or you might be worried about a friend who's having them and unsure how to help.
Whatever your question, this is a chance to chat to an expert for advice.
How does it work?
Expert chat sessions are group chats and your questions and comments will be held in a queue for Aaron to answer one at a time. I'll be in the chat too to look after everything and help out.
You will be able to log into the chat once it opens from this page: http://www.thesite.org/community/thesocial/chat
The transcript from the chat will be published in our archive but all names will be changed to protect anonymity.
Any other questions just ask! :thumb:

Aaron is a psychotherapist, which means he's a specialist at understanding people and helping them solve their problems. He's worked in schools, colleges and universities too, so he knows all about the challenges people face there. He's also the "resident psychotherapist" on BBC Radio 1's call-in advice Surgery with Aled and Dr. Radha and has recently written a book called Keep your Cool: how to deal with life's worries and stress.

I thought it was this Aaron! He has helped me before when I have text into the Surgery with Aled and Radha. It's also a really great show as they do actually help people.
We'll publish the transcript as soon as we can after the event so that you can all see what went on and do send me any questions via PM if you can't make it and I'll ask them on your behalf if there's time, live questions will take priority though.
