doing what you're doing

It sounds like you really don't need "alternative medicine" but instead to keep doing what you're doing - finding a good cognitive therapist is key, exercising, and also getting out and about to stay engaged. Meditation or yoga sound like good matches - they're not cures, but like exercise, they may help take you out of your head for a bit.

Two recommendations for reading:

When Panic Attacks (http://www.amazon.com/When-Panic-Attacks-Drug-Free-Anxiety/dp/076792083X/ref=pd_bbs_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213879784&sr=8-4) by David Burns, a cognitive therapist.

Full Catastrophe Living (http://www.amazon.com/Full-Catastrophe-Living-Wisdom-Illness/dp/0385303122/ref=pd_sim_b_1) by Jon
Kabat-Zinn, founder of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. His program, in a word, is meditation, rescued from the mire of mysticism that made it trendy in the 1960s.
