: About Me

After winning a battle with panic disorder, many years in the business world, and a part-time job working with troubled adolescents, Bill was fortunate enough to find his life's passion and work. Yes, when it was all said and done he secured his counseling credentials and is doing all he can to lend a hand to those having a tough time. Does it matter it all happened shortly after he turned fifty? You bet it does. It makes it all the more sweet.

Inspired by his experience with panic Bill's written a panic attack education and recovery eWorkbook entitled, Panic! ...and Poetic Justice, which is available on his website. Bill also offers some powerful mentoring packages.

Bill is doing a lot of writing these days, as he continues his psychiatric emergency work. He remains available to conduct mental health workshops. So much more good stuff to come.

Bill enjoys many things - his work, reading, writing, spending time with his incredible teenagers (a young man and a young woman), working out, and generally checking-out what's new and creative out there.

My inspiration ...

Ah - good one. No doubt, my children. After that - creating something special. Of course, maintaining a place to live and having something to eat is pretty good inspiration, as well.

Health & Fitness > Anxiety & Panic Disorders The many reasons and causes of anxiety

1 of 4

I guess when it comes to the anatomy and physiology of panic attacks and anxiety I'm kind of a geek. The stuff just fascinates me. What can I say? However, beyond the pure wonder of it all, a good portion of my interest is grounded in really wanting to comprehend that from which I've suffered most of my life. I mean, I just don't see how one can own and manage something if they don't fully understand what's going on. The superior colliculus (SC) is a component of the very ancient midbrain (mesencephalon), which is the smallest portion of the brain and serves as kind of a booster station fo...
