Default Fight or Flight Therapy

Has anyone heard of this? Have personal experience or any information? I'm desperate. I don't know why I'm thinking this therapy is even feasible as I probably can't afford it. But, I've been in contact with the MD that does this and he seems to want to help. His name is Dr. Tessler and he is in Colorado which is many states away from me.

When I had my accident I didn't have health insurance and racked up the cost of two ER visits. Ouch. However, I can't continue on like this. I feel like this has been going on for two months and now my brain "thinks" this constant anxiety state is normal. I don't ever have a clear mind and think about PCS and it's effects constantly. I'm fearful of going crazy. How do I stop the repetitive thoughts?

The Zoloft is horrible and I hate it. I haven't tried another drug because my MD thought this one is best. My family is supportive but are adamant that I need to stay on the medications. I know there are many that have dealt with the mental state change that comes along with some PCS sufferers.

Thank you.
