Stress Center Peer Support

I had this type of therapy done years ago and it was very effective. It seems to work best if there is a specific situation that is causing anxiety or stress on which the EMDR is focused. It desensitized the emotional reaction.

Dervish - Yes it's possible to complete the program and have your thoughts turn to a more positive theme. I would suggest writing down your questions you mentioned in your post and answering them. "What do I need?, What do I want?, What steps can I take to help myself?, What action can I take to all...

You didn't mention if you completed the program just once, or went through it a few times in a row a year ago- ? I actually went through the whole thing three times with the third time being more or less a review, etc. I still refer to parts of it from time to time and it seems each time is for a di...

I always like Richard Simmons and used to use his Sweatin to the Oldies all the time. I liked the fact that he wasn't a skinny 21 year old showing you how to exercise! Ha He's fun and motivational.

I was told at one time that I would most probably need meds for anxiety for the rest of my life. They were so very wrong. I'm not against taking m...

I will put mine in the order of most bothersome, to least. I am currently experiencing high anxity/panic, so this should be easy for me :) -Chest, back, throat pain/preassure, not being able to swallow. -uncotrollable body tremors -uncotrollable sweating hands, feet, pits.... -nausia-cannot eat, los...

This has been such a problem for so many of us I almost think they could use a special topic heading just for insomnia. I know the feeling of being afraid to go to bed because you're afraid you won't sleep. It can be such a combination of things that sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the reason. Stres...

Thank you mrs.T- I thought I as the only one that has a fear of driving- I just ordered the program and not received it yet- I have a brand new car sitting in my driveway and I'm waiting for my mom to pick me up for work- I work exactly 1 1/2 miles from home sounds pretty pathetic- not only that I'm...
