Hi, ive never heard of this program before and am curious. I know i have anxiety because it just has to be. Like everyone else, ive had countless encounters with drs and am a nurse myself (which definitely doesnt help!!!) Im sick of feeling 'dizzy' and not knowing how to explain to a dr what my 'dizziness' feels like or why i have heart palpitations. I think about the possibilities of bad things happening to me and my family all the time and am scared that they could happen. Ive had panic attacks before, i monitor my blood pressure and pulse often, ive seen cardiologists, neuroligists and balance disorder centers. I dont want medication...i want an answer. This commercial or show on tv that had different people talking about their experiences had exactly the same symptoms, which makes me feel better about it. Although i am a nurse, i had never realized that it was entirely possible that i had anxiety.
I know the trick is to be comfortable with yourself and learn what helps but what if i cant??? Ive tried to do breathing techniques but get heart palpitations. I feel like im not comfortable with myself and feel like i will lose control of myself (like hypnosis) if i do this.
Any thoughts??? Does this program help??? What about just talking about it???
Thanks and take care!!! Have a good day!!!
does this work???

smksmk,
Interesting question, "does this program work?" I think for me to answer that is how bad do you want to feel free of all those symptoms? I bought the program last April. I have anxiety and had it probably most of my life. Seamed worse in the perimeno. years. I have found it to be very helpful and I can handle so many things better by doing the program. If I would of not got the program, who knows how my last year would have been. My doctor told me I had anxiety years ago and I thought that is not me. As years came on and the more medical problems I developed they all lead to anxiety. Then I bought the program. It talks you though 15 sessions, with video, audio, and workbook and carry cards. There are so many things we do that it would take a very long post to describe. The program is very through, talks about "should s" " what ifs" staying in the" present moment", anger, expectations, and many many more helpful things.
I still have anxiety, but I have alot less of it and it does not scare me like it did. I have good tools from the program that I learned but I have to remember to use them. When you change your thinking you lesson the anxiety. I would highly recommend it. I feel it is not a quick fix, but rather a commitment that you make to yourself and in turn you do feel so much better. Good luck to you, I hope you too feel better soon!

Hi SMKsmk! 
Welcome, I ditto everything THH said. And I joined in October before I had the CDs. Just by coming here and talking to these nice folks on here, you will begin to feel better. I am no longer on any anti-depressants, I still take Temazepam at night. Since I changed the way I eat and think, and have been able to express my feelings here, I've been able to be free of panic attacks and most anxiety symptoms. I'm not cured, but I'm functioning and reclaiming my life. Paislee

Hello. Reading your post, I think the program addresses pretty much all of your issues and concerns. The program worked for me. I still have some generalized anxiety and am going through the program a second time and getting a lot out of it yet again. But, I am nothing like I used to be with the panic attacks, being housebound, etc. I guess I would have to say that everyone is so different and that you will definitely get out of it what you put into it. It is a well thought out and "put together" program. Take care.
