Hi, everyone. I just ordered the program last week, but haven't gotten it yet. I had real reservations about the cost. I have had anxiety issues for many years, tried many meds with minimal relief. My doctor has suggested cognitive therapy before, but I am very skeptical about it, as have never been able to "talk myself out" of my fears and thoughts, even though I know it's not rational. Nervous and shaky in groups, presentations. What is your opinion of the program?

I feel exactly the same about this as you do, i got my kit and have started today, i really hope it works, it seems very good so far to me.
There is "homework" type stuff to do, like filling in some questions.
I really hope it works.

Hello ElaineOB,
I am on session #12 now and I have to say
that things are going well. You will learn a lot about yourself with this program. You might
get a little more anxious the first few sessions but this is normal. As I have heard from a lot of people on this forum. Dont let it
discourage you.Better things are coming your
way so keep on going.You have made a big step for your recovery by starting this program.

ElaineOB, I too was very sceptical and recently have lost my job, so the money was a really big deal for me.I just started session 4.I dont allways do everything exactly the way the program says, but I try. I thought I knew alot about this disorder since I've had it for 23 yrs.I am learning so much about why I do the things I do and what the results will be. dont exspect to be perfect, just keep at it and do the best you can.I am allready stating to see results in just 4 sessions

Hi Elaine,
This program has definately worked for me so far. This past August I got fired from a job and knew that I could go into a major depression if I didn't get some help quick. That's when I ordered the program. I did EVERYTHING the program told me to do and I started feeling better each day. My only problem now is that around Session 7 I started feeling better and I let the program lapse. Problems are starting to come up again and I'm working with a counselor to get back on track. Other than that, I honestly believe that the answers are in this program. As long as we take the time to do the work and everything else they say to do! Good luck! ~Carol

Hi Elaine,
I too suffered major depression and even with medications I had no desire to get out of the bed. I had counseling as well but nothing ever changed until I began the program. I could not wait for the materials so I began the online program and I am sooo glad. I have learned so much about myself and how young I was when my negative thought patterns began and I am making strides I never thought I would.

You just stay with the program and remember everybody here has been through the same or very similar situation you have. These strangers have blessed me at my lowest points and I never would have thought that.

Let us know how u are doing and dont be afraid to ask for help.

I ordered this program about 4 years ago. I put off ordering for about 6 weeks while taking medications given by my doctor. The medications helped ease the symptoms, but I wanted to be able to function daily without worrying about a panic attack coming.

I ordered the program, just as you did, with reservations about the money. It wasn't a great time for us financially, but I went ahead and called. I have NEVER regretted ordering the program. Before, I was unable to drive very far without worrying about having a panic attack and spent a lot of my day being very anxious. This program will give you the tools you need to cope with anxiety that you might have. It also helps to identify what is triggering any problems. From time to time, I will review some of the information in the program. I have found that regular exercise is also VERY helpful, as well as eating better. Cut down on the caffeine and sugar. This is difficult for me, but truly makes a big difference. Good luck to you. This WILL pass.

Elaine if you want it to help you get better it will!Use your work book and vier each audio and then listen to your cd. I was confused what to do in the beginning. Read the directions and follow them and you'll be on your way to feeling better in no time. It is amazing how it works, I felt so much better after session 2. I still get anxcious, but I know what to tell myself now if I start to get anxious, I realizee I'm anxious and I use the tools to stop myself and get myself back into the precious present moment.I'm decreasing my medication now to every other day and will continue to decrease it until I'm off it. The program does work, but you also have to work the program.
