0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm 11. Gene, welcome to the program. Hello, Dr. Laura. I am absolutely thrilled to speak with you. I've been a listener for the last 28 years.
0:23.0	Dr. Laura, what my question for you is today is whenever I go on vacation with my husband, if we go to Europe and we usually go to Europe about every 5 years, we're very fortunate to be able to do this.
0:45.0	About 80% of the time I suffer from extreme homesickness and it manifests itself in panic attacks. I lose my appetite.
1:04.0	I have a hard time concentrating. There's a lot of tears and this happened 5 years ago. We landed in Portugal. It was a beautiful day we had for...
1:19.0	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, how many years has this been going on? This has been going on for 30 years and I'm 65 years old.
1:40.0	Have you ever gone into any kind of counseling for it? Panic attacks? No eating? That's pretty dramatic. Have you ever gone to a professional? What did you learn when you were with a professional?
1:53.0	Well, what I learned when I was with a professional was that what I learned is that you know what gene whether you are at home in California or whether you're over in Europe.
2:19.0	Think about it's just the surroundings that are changing. You are still you. You have a loving husband. You have loving friends.
2:34.0	So this is kind of a phobia and to almost kind of repeat in your head you know what gene go ahead and allow yourself to enjoy what's going on.
2:55.0	And how did that work for you? Well, you know Dr. Laura about 50% of the time it's been pretty good. Now we have a trip coming up at the...
3:13.0	Okay, I don't want to go into the trip coming up. Okay. Knowing that this happens all the time. Why do you go on trips to Europe?
3:22.0	Why do you put yourself through that? How much fun is your husband having with you panic attacks and not eating? I mean what's the point?
3:30.0	Yeah. Well, the times that I do go I do enjoy the sites, the activities, the...
3:47.0	I'm really confused now. How can you enjoy it if you're having panic attacks and can't eat?
3:56.0	Well, it happens about 60% of the time. So it does it a few moments ago. You said 80%.
4:07.0	Okay, okay. You're right. You're right. If 80% of the time I was going to get sick if I traveled I probably wouldn't travel.
4:18.0	So I was just curious is to why you put yourself through that? Yeah.
4:23.0	Yeah, some part of you doesn't want to perhaps some part of you doesn't really want to be there. Well, and I never...
4:35.0	What part might that be? What part might that be? What part of you may just not want to be on that trip with him?
4:45.0	Yeah. What part is that? Talk to me about that part.
4:48.0	You know, Dr. the part that that doesn't want to be there. I'm a very structured individual.
