I have just listened to my first video, but I have not received my hard copy of the program. I may need to check my utility room to see if it was left there. I am excited about recieving it. I have watched excerpts of the program several time on t.v., and this last time I decided to order it. Since very young, I have experienced panic attack when travelling or driving. I have lost opportunities because of my fear of driving or travelling. When I was a young girl, I remember riding in the back seat of the car and getting haunched over the floor of the car while listening to my mom shouting at my uncle who is driving way too fast. I expereinced this several times. I am not sure if this could be a factor of my fear of driving and travelling long distances. I drive to and from work everyday and sometime seem to have anxiety attacks when waiting at the stop light. I welcome your reply to my post. Thank you for listenting

I am sorry to hear about your struggle. I am sure that stinks! My name is Bryan and I started the program this week. Welcome to the club!!

I have had panic/anxiety attacks while at a red light before. I do believe that your anxiety of driving could definitely be tied in with your experience as a child.

Mine certainly are a combination of my personality type and childhood experiences. My father demanded perfection in most everything and now if things do not go perfectly, I am stressed and have anxiety, ala sitting at a red light for too long or "bumps" in the daily schedule! At least that is what I think is the cause Smiler

I hope the program helps and take care!

I hope you are successful with overcoming your fear of driving. There is a lot to see out there.

My fears center around closed spaces, elevators, saunas and the like.

I too, just stared today. I haven't received the program yet, but emails to get started.

The best to us all! Smiler

Thank you Bryan and Tleaf, you don't know how much this means to hear from someone who care about the well being of another. I got somewhat emotional when I read your comments. I can tell that this discussion board is really going to be a blessing for me. It is helping me deal with the things within. I too was a child where my mother would not let me hardly rest. She constantly had me doing something. It was like I had to stay busy doing something all the time and it was not good enough. Again thank you all for responding, this is a great beginning for healing for me. Have a wonderful day.

If you only look at what is, you might never attain what could be.

I hate to blame my childhood or mom for where I am now but looking back I've had anxiety for my whole life too. I remember one day around the age of 9 that I had a panic attack (didn't know it at the time) while my mom was driving. I buried my face in my hands in fear of getting into an accident for the rest of the way home. We were only on the main street of a small town. I was the only girl in the family and always felt like I had to be perfect for my mom. It seems that there were always so many demands...

Yay for us for taking this program. I'm on day two.
