The program only works for very mild cases of anxiety and depression. How do I know this? I had the very 1st set of tapes produced. I gotten the updates of the programs of friends who have tried it and have also been unsucessful. It will provide some guidelines but if you have severe anxiety or depression you will need the help of a true professional not a witchdoctor


I am on session 2 and just getting ready to begin session 3. I have already noticed some small improvements and better yet one of my friends said the other day that I look better than I have in months, that I dont have that terrible sad look anymore. For me that is big!! The people in the cd's have been as bad as you can get and they have gotten better. My own doctor said that this is the way to get better. That cognitive behaviour therapy is the long term solution and that meds are a short term help. That meds have their place in treatment but are not a permanent solution. I think that if you truly want to get better you have to really put in the effort with this program. If you dont then you will be dissapointed.

Lizzy,
Like the others have said, don't stop your meds cold turkey. I know that you haven't been on them that long, but you should speak with your Doctor. Maybe you'll have to switch meds or dosages?

Pipermarie,
My Doctor also said almost the same thing about CBT.

I'm just beginning here in week one and I SO want to get better. I am following my schedule and assignments. What I want to know from the veterans out there that are in further weeks. How did you work out your daily schedule re: listening to the relaxation CD three times a day, devote 20 minutes three times a day to quiet thoughts, and do the breathing technique 10 times a day? I'm sure that I'll get into a good pattern once I get more used to the system. I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed about how to schedule this all into a work day. Any help would be so appreciated!
