Stress Center Peer Support

Hi, Tom. By reading your reply I see how negatively I was thinking. You're right, she's never told me she doesn't want to hang out with me or given me any reason to believe that it's true, other than just by her being busy. I can see how I get stuck on thinking (inventing) the worst, especially when...

Hi everyone, I have an aunt who I've always felt close to. I think of her more as a friend. We used to meet for walks or shopping or for sleepovers at her house where we'd stay up late talking, laughing, and catching up. She lives about half an hour away. She's been my friend through it all. I don't...

I'm finishing up week 2 of the program. Thankfully, I've found a great partner in this forum to help remind me to keep up with the homework & practice the new skills! Without a study partner, I don't think I would have started the program yet, or if I had, I never would have made it to the end of we...

Yes! This CD really upsets me, too. I feel myself experiencing anxiety as the people describe their scenarios. I feel sick from listening.

Hi, I'm about halfway into my 2nd week in the program. As I've mentioned before, this is my third time through. I'm glad to be in the program again. I'm posting in "Depression" because I'm feeling down. I don't remember when or how the program addresses feelings and triggers of depression. It's been...

Hi Kucek, It's nice to hear from you! It sounds like you've got a lot of challenges to work through. I couldn't imagine being in a situation with a dentist leaving town before finishing his work! I'm so sorry you are going through this. I think you are doing great by taking action and calling around...

Hi, I check this forum almost every day. Not just the categories that relate to me, but all of them, hoping to hear about someone. I don't know why this forum is so quiet. I'm not on facebook or any kind of social media. I am in another forum for support in my marriage, and it's made such a big diff...

Hi Kucek, I'd love to send you a big hug! My heart just goes out to you. It's wonderful that you're here and reaching out for support. I'm glad you are giving the program another try. This is my 3rd time, too. I also started 15 years ago! I think it's great so many people have responded under this t...

Hi Coach Chris! Thank you for the advice in getting started. Did they change the name of the program? I'm surprised to see several other posts by people returning to relearn the program. What do you think would help us stick with the skills for good? I don't remember deciding not to the skills anymo...

This is a wonderful book for wives or girlfriends. I think the book and this program compliment each other really well. It's an easy read, inspiring, and the skills she describes help/work immediately both with yourself and with your guy. For example, my recent panic attack: I was convinced it was m...
