Thanks for the advice, and you guys kinda figured out that it does in fact have alot to do with money. They have been fortunate and have been able to help us with starting our own business and with buying our home. Though I am greatful, it kills me. I feel like I owe them so much, and though it may ...

I've completed up to session 10 in the program and am proud to say that I've gotten most of my anxiety under control lately. I just still can't seem to gain a sense of confidence and assertiveness with my in-laws. I feel like when I'm dealing with them I practically fall apart to the point where I w...

I've listened to the session 10 audio again today and I think it finally really sunk in. I've made it through the day pretty successfully by disarming my fear of losing my mind. When I start thinking "What if I need to check in to a mental institution?" I imagine myself checking into a facility in a...

I feel that even this far into the program, I start to begin to feel really good, because it definetly has helped me, then all it takes is something like a bad night of nightmares to really rattle me off course. My biggest fear is of losing my mind or becoming schizophrenic, or discovering any other...

I am still struggling with worrying what other people will think of me when I am assertive, as well. I'm understanding that all it takes though, is a little bravery and practice. Like for example, before I see my mother-in-law or sister-in-law, I have to almost rehearse my responses to things I know...

I recently joined facebook (well, my friends practically begged me to join). Online profiles and stuff like "My Space" never appealed to me in the first place, but I was willing to give it a shot with their assurance that it is completely private. Well I logged in and in front of me was an overwhelm...

Besides this program, I have invested some time in reading and as well as listening to some audio books by both Louise Hay and Dr. Wayne Dyer. I have found them both helpful in regards to self esteem. I'm an artist and have put my abilities on the shelf for years. I would keep my portfolio hidden in...

Ok, seriously. I have a fear of becoming schizophrenic. My anxiety gets so bad that the walls start to look speckly and the lights seem to trail a bit. I'll also get a rush of adrenaline because I'll think I have seen something in the corner of my eye (but there's nothing). My mind is working on suc...
