I recently watched the starter video and started to feel more anxiety than I have in the past few weeks. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm starting my first session and am nervous about my anxiety getting worse. I don't want to get discouraged but its hard because I thought I was doing fine and I figured these videos would help but now I'm questioning my choice. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Hey Frank,
It does happen! You are not alone in this, I promise. I had more symptoms than ever with just having the box in my house. It took me 2 weeks to just open it!
Once I got it open, it took another 3 or 4 days to actually put in the intro dvd. From that point on I just decided that I HAD to trust this. I had to be open to it. What I was doing in the past was not working and this was going to help. Just put the cd in...maybe not the dvd. Work through the work book and let it sink in. Use and really try to be open to the relaxation cd too. Trust it.
I'm on week 3, starting week 4 tomorrow and already can see a difference. I have had chest pain, stomach upset and the waves of being overwhelmed but today during a disagreement with my spouse, I totally STOPPED the symptoms.
Keep posting and go to the Online chat when you can. Feel free to message me as well. You are not alone Frank! This will work!
Blessings,
Lea

I wasn't going to reply because I was scared to do so, but I thought I would share my thoughts with you. I just signed up for this program. I instantly felt anxious when I did it because I felt like there was something wrong with me. Like I failed. Why does anxiety and depression come with that notion attached. At any rate, I realized that there isn't and so maybe that is what you are going through to. Or just the meer fact of dealing with the issues makes us feel anxious at first and then as we work through them, it gets better. I don't know about you but dealing with this stuff makes me feel kind of vulnerable. I think we will be just fine.

Have you tried listening to the relaxation tape a few times before beginning the videos? It may help to put you in a more relaxed state before you begin.

My anxiety and panic went up when I first started. I think because I felt "okay, what if this does not work...then what". Negative thinking. I am on week three and heading to week four and I am now doing better. Hang in there. It is normal! We are facing things we don't want to face.

Hi Lea,

I too just started session 4. I have noticed some positive changes in myself. Probably most noticeably the ability to recognize and sometimes reverse a negative thought. How are you doing with the relaxation tapes. My problem is finding the time to do them. I am a father of twin 2.5 year olds amd a full time accountant and part time musician. So I do not get much downtime. Anyway, good luck with the rest of the program!

Jeff

Hey Jeff,
All is well here. I was to start session 4 today but like you, I have small children and just couldn't fit it in. And now I'm drained. I am planning on going through the cd first thing tomorrow and hopefully the dvd after lunch. There just isn't enough time in the day sometimes.
Hope you and everyone else are doing well.
Frank, update us on how you are doing.
Blessings,
Lea

Hi Frank33,

I know exactly what you mean. I am getting ready to start session 4 today (Sunday) and all last week I felt anxious all day. I used my skills and positive dialogue, and it worked, but I still felt anxious. You are definitely not alone. I promise. We all just need to keep thinking about all the people who are struggling with this as well and be strong for eachother. There is no way I am giving up. Don't forget to praise yourself for the smallest of things. That is seeming to help some for me. Hang in there, we can do it!


We Can Do This!

I can't remember which tape but the gentleman who works with Lucinda did say that it is part of the process and those feelings would happen. I had the same "regression" so to speak. I can honestly say though I am getting better with every week that I work this program. Today, when I listened to Session 4 CD, I recognized myself so well that it actually helped tremendously. I had a very good day today.
