Hello every one,
I joined the program in November of last year. I was in a very critical moment: depressed, anxious, panic attacks, "what if thinking...", negative thoughts. You name it... Every thing that the program treats and helps us develop skills for. I was affraid to try the program, thinking that this was going to be a waste of time and money. I had tried so many things, but nothing really worked. I saw the commercial of StressCenter on TV. I felt that that comercial was for me. I got a piece of paper, wrote the phone number and put it away for later. Weeks passed, and I had no courage in making that phone call. "What would they think of me?", I thought many times. "What if they think I am crazy?". and so on... Few other times, I saw the comercial and felt move to call. But I guess, I wasn't ready. After a strong panic attack, I felt that I just couldn't keep up. I need it help, and soon. So I finaly made the call. The person who answer was very compasionate. Warm and welcoming. When I asked her about the the free CD, we encourage me to try the program for a month. I thought to my self, "well, it's a month, I'll give a try". I signed for the program. After I hanged up, I started having second thought about it. Questions like "What if I made a mistake by doing this? Where did I get my self into?", and so on. I was in total darkness, feeling that nothing possible could help my conditions. It took to weeks for the program to reach my door. These two weeks were long. Althought, I wasn't sure if this was going to help me, I knew deep in my heart that it was a nother possiblity. Specially, when I had used all my resources and had no results. When I got the program, I was exited. I opened the box and look over the materials, read the instructions and saw the first DVD. That was like a new door that opened to my life. That night I started with relaxation CD. I started feeling better. That sensation, gave me enough motivation to continue the rest of the week and the next week and so forth. I am finaly toward the end of the week of sesion number 14. I feel great. I have learned to cope with my anxiety, to decide to keep my self in peace of mind; not to over react and think positively. I has been a long journed of ups and downs. However, worth the try and worth the investment, monetary, but most of all the investment of hope. I put every thing I had to make an effort for healing and overcoming the darkness and fusion that my depression, anxiety and over reactions had me. As a reach the end of the program, I look back and realized how fortunate I am to experience peace and joy in my life. I feel more free of thoughts. I had gain my self steam. I eat better. Caffeine and sugar have been put aside. I really feel good about my self, good about the things I do. I am happy with my social relationships at work and with my family. Thanks to the program, I realized that depression runs in my family. I had learned to be depressed. Now after been under this condition for many years, I see my self at the end of tunel. I wish this program would be in spanish to share it with my father. I am sure it would help him a lot. I have shared with him some of the ideas that I have learned from the program, but I am sure he could get more if he was to year and listen to the experiences that Mrs. Lucinda and the group shared. I want to thank every one. From the person who though of the comercial on TV, the persons who answer the phones, the persons who did the recording, the camara work, Mrs. Lucinda and all the participants in the program. Including Dr. Fisher. My respects and honor for your great work. The program has done a lot for me. I look forward to the last session and keep my self going back to the exercises and the CDs when need it. May God bless you all.
I am very greatful with Mrs. Lucinda and the Stress Center
