Yes I totally know that you can get over any sort of illness when you work with the mind. Granted we don't have many textbook cases on it, because if word was let out through the medical community that our actual mind was involved in one's healing and not all of their drugs....that would be turning over a new belief system and the collapse of the health care industry. Two things that I don't feel will be happening in the near future. I will say that that there is always a place for medicine and the medical community, as well as alternative medicine, energy medicine, chinese medicine, etc. As you are focusing on using the mind, I feel that is the source of all healing. The mind came up with all of these methods of healing in our world, so your own mind can absolutely be used as a tool to heal yourself.
When we speak about fears, we must see the illusion present in them. I have fears, but I also know how ridiculous they are and I know that by facing them, regardless of outcome, the fear is just an illusion, something that my mind created from a prior experience. When you begin doing that which is fearful for you and creating new experiences to link to that fear, it will dissolve. Then people question, "What if I don't have a successful experience to link after facing a fear?" You have the experience that you actually had the guts to face the fear and you are still living and you still have the opportunity to improve or get it right. You are building confidence in yourself. This confidence will trickle into all other areas and can have a transformative effect on your whole life.
I am working with it, and it is a process like all other things. I am not using drugs or therapy. I am reading books though. They help with empowering my thoughts and remembering what is true. A really good book that I just picked up is As You Think by James Allen. It's cheap, short read, and very to the point.

I'm pretty sure it's damn possible. We just need a near death experience to wake us up and make us realize that we truly want to live and not to die- and to live means we want to experience the full force of life and be strong in the face of whatever gets shoved in our face. Because that's part of the game. I'm thinking about trying out some salvia very soon. I want to see what I get from that experience.

I'm not sure. Without drugs definitely. You could do it without therapy if you could find the root cause of your SP without it, but there's no way I would have figured it out without my therapist. I don't think I could be recovering like I am now without first addressing the reasons I felt anxious in the first place, stuff from my childhood and puberty and all that.
But if you could address all that yourself, if it was easy to figure out all the reasons your SP developed, then I definitely think you could do it yourself. But the reason we need therapy is because someone who's so completely bogged down in the negative would find it very very hard to change their thinking to feel positive and strong without an outside stimulus.
