Want to send it back

I just listened to the introduction online, my program hasn't come yet, but I, too, am freaking out about how much it will cost. I'm single, on Social Security for a disablity, and I just don't kow how I can afford this. But I am so tired of living in the "pit", (that's what I call my depression) that I want to see what I can get out of this within my 30 day trial period. Kind of a crash course. Have you found the program to be of help to you at all? I'm very sceptical, but also desperate. Whatever you decide, I hope you find peace of mind.

Dear DEEDEE:

Wanted to say AMEN TO YOUR POST - God & this Program - same here same here.

DEAR MAMA BRD:

What you choose to do w/ your money is respectively your decision. But just reconsider it - DeeDee is right, this program is LIFE CHANGING:

3 yrs ago, I was diagnosed w/ ANXIETY DISORDER, PANIC ATTACKS & PTSD: it forced my hand & I became unable to work. Because of the severity of my condition back then, I agreed & went on anxiety med: @ 3x's per day. In addition, because of severe sleep deprivation I was experiencing (1-2 hrs per 24 hrs) I was put on 2 sleep aids. IT WAS HARD & IT WAS BAD.

I went thru 20 mths of intensive therapy(starting May - 2005) + journaled: to get myself to a place where I was ok w/ acknowledging what I was thinking & feeling - & FEEL THEM + researched: read 16 books to better understand anxiety disorder + I purchased Lucinda's Program & started it in Nov-2006 & completed it in March-2007. My journey entailed me facing my past 1st, b/4 I was even ready for the PROGRAM. THEN, I was ready to face & change myself - that is where Lucinda's program came in.

As of today, I am not on any anxiety meds or sleep aid - haven't been for over 1 YEAR. There are not enough words to quantify how much THE PROGRAM has helped me - this program is the best investment I have ever made - NO JOKING. 3 yrs ago, I was enveloped in this existence of life restricting & inhibiting fear. So much so, I was not able to work(foreign to me, cause then @ 37 - I had already been on my own since H.S. work ft & graduated college at night), & I was completely dependant on my husband. My quality of life was poor & as a result of all mentioned facts, MY HEART HURT - this was not who I was or wanted to be. I was never a NEEDY/CLINGY WOMAN. So, I fought like hell & worked my tail off - SEE MAMA BRD - I was not upset I was experiencing FEAR itself - no, thats life. However, I was real mad that is CONTROLLED ME - INHIBITED ME & RESTRICTED ME/MY LIFE. So, w/ my brain smarts & character + GOD + HUBBY + PHENOMINAL THERAPIST - I started to fight like no one's business. I was a horse w/ blinders on - I knew 1 thing, AS GOD TOLD ME & MY SOUL/SPIRIT "don't take the path of least resistance" & I didn't.

Like DEEDEE says, I experience situations where I need to still challenge myself & thats ok. See, the way I see it is this: Life is about continually GROWING/CHANGING/EVOLVING - that is great & I am so ok w/ that. It is when I am STAGNANT - that problems come = all the yrs b/4 & leading up to anxiety disorder triggering. I am proud that I welcome change, opposed to being afraid of it & afraid that I CAN'T DO IT - this journey has tought me to know w/ certainty I BELIEVE IN MYSELF & I CAN DO IT.

MAMA - pls just reconsider it. Yes there is information out there that may be cheaper. However, I did research & I will tell you fr experience: LUCINDA & STAFF DID THE RESEARCH - they consolidated all that information & put it into 1 place + along w/ skills that have literally helped HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AROUNG THE WORLD - that is the proof in the pudding so to speak.

I wish you all the best on your journey.

LENORE

Just want to say Mamabrd if Lenore's post doesn't encourage you, not much will. Thank you Lenore. I always enjoy your posts.

Mbrd,
I am only on Session two and have already noticed a change in myself. I too am concerned about the payments but gotta say, my life is worth the monthly payments. LISTEN to the cd's over and over and over. You'll hear things on them that you didn't catch the time before and you'll subconsciously start to feel the anxiety lessen in you. I'm excited by what I see in myself and think that you should keep going.
Don't give up because of a payment. I think this program is gonna work for all of us!!!

Have you looked into the online program? It is waaaaay less expensive, and has virtually the same content. I have to admit, paying for the "print" materials was extremely difficult for me. Our financial position was very poor at that time. I am in no means saying the program isn't worth it, but that payment every month was eating me up. The online program is great. Please check into it. It is about $5 a week! Good luck!

Repetition,Repetition,Repetition,Repetition, did I mention Repetition??? Sure you can read books with similiar messages for less money, but I believe that our repetitive negative thoughts have gotten us into our most anxious moments. I have heard that our mind is like a tape recorder and we have unfortuanately been thinking negatively for so long it is hard to change. With this program it uses repetition along with other techniques to assist you to think positively which helps to change your anxiety. Stay strong....

the cheaper stuff can be used as supplemental material (maintenance) after the program--if you want. this program (and I'm "dead broke") is a "steal", "worth a million dollars", etc. that's my opinion.

I agree that the program seems a bit expensive for the actual materials you get, and that you can find all the same stuff by researching the internet and reading books yourself.
However, if your anxiety situation is severe and you need a structured program to follow, this is about the only one out there that pulls almost all the helpful info you need into one package.

Now, if you’re the kind of person that only has mild anxiety and you are good at doing your own research, then you are probably better off going that direction and saving your money. But, if you are having big time anxiety, feeling confused and desperate, then you may be better off just buying this prepackaged program and using it.

Here's a hint that should help, once you decide to purchase this program and use it, just move forward with that decision and don’t look back or worry about it. Just let go of your concerns about your decision and focus your full attention forward to completing the course. You will feel much better. God Bless and peace be with you.

Call customer service at 1-800-611-0857. Tell them the problem and they may be able to adjust the payment schedule to something you can swing comfortably. I've heard they really do try to make this program affordable, even when you think it's impossible. If you still feel like you want to spend less, the books Malikye mentioned are good and so is Lucinda's book "From Panic to Power". Also, "What to Say When You Talk to Yourself" by Shad Helmstetter. I've not read that book but it's mentioned an awful lot on here.
