My obsessive nature
I have noticed my obsessive nature relates to perfection and cause and effect relationships that do not exist. I am currently doing endless planning for a vacation and am still going back and forth between 3 tours. I'm sure all are good and I can only go on one of them but don't want to make the wro...

Please help me with obsessive thoughts
I tend to create what my psychologist would call a cause and effect relationship that does not exist. The problem is when I have such thoughts, my pulse and/or my blood pressure will increase and until I can move on, I will have this condition. A general example may be if I do something but not perf...

My first major growth spurt
I finished the course over a 1/2 year ago and have been doing fine except of late. Once again I am back to thinking in a way that raises my blood pressure because of me being imperfect, indecisive or having a cause and effect relationship that does not exist. I have always found that things that alw...

Anxiety out of control
I have just completed the program. I realize the thoughts that I needed to respond to differently were not rational and I have made good progress. Now I am having a growth spurt and need help. I am breaking new ground by having anxiety about a situation that has a remote chance of happening rather t...

Thoughts causing anxiety symptons
I have used the techniques in this course and usually I am not as affected by scary thoughts but not always. For some reason I am now thinking of a security guard in high school who I thought used unnecessary force on me and that even kept me up for an hour in the middle of the night last night. Thi...

I notice how nervous I am gettig just by even the thought of a new job or career even though I think it may be good for me. I am starting to wonder what if it doesn't work out or what...

I'm in crisis mode
I was doing very well with this program until this session. Before this session I was able to write down a scary thought in my journal and it goes away. Something is happening with this session that they are persisting. I should mention my scary thoughts are not thoughts of hurting someone. But this...

Traffic Stops
The tape talks about dissolve or resolve and I have a very hard time with it. I will give you all the info and my thoughts and see if you have suggestions. Over 14 years ago I was subject to traffic stops both as a passenger and a driver. I am confident I was not doing anything wrong yet I was quest...

Panic Attacks from unknown sources
I am about midway through the program and was doing well. For some reason this week, I am getting panic attacks again. The 6 steps are helping to some extent but not completely since I still have the body symptoms of panic attacks. What is frustrating is I do not know which thought or event may have...
