i've been on this program for about a month, I feel it's working out but I am not sure. can you please give me some feed back and let me know how you feel?

I love it! I've listened to all the tapes but have yet to complete the book. Just keep with it even if its just helping you a little right now isn't it worth it? I don't know where i'd be today if i never had ordered the program! Good luck!

I feel like it's a slow, yet enjoyable, yet work, yet more realistic than "miracle pills", for me it's about changing self destructive habits into more helpful ones. It's not a "quick fix" for me, something I have to return to again and again. I mean I've been pretty anxious and negative my whole life so changes take time, but I'm better off than ever with skills to help myself. For me it's not like WHAMMY I feel FABULOUS, it's more like, ok, I'm coping a little better. And better is always better!

I just started my first session, and i didnt find it helpful so far,i dont know if this can help someone who has as bad of depression as me

Hi Melinda
It's just your first session so don't even think about giving up. It will just get better and better. It took awhile to get this way, it's gonna take awhile to get feeling good.

The program is GREAT!!!!!

If you are looking for a quick 1 day fix you will set yourself up for failure.

I am a much changed person and havn't reached the half way point yet. You get out of it what you work for, work hard..you WIN, don't work hard, YOU LOSE, Nothing that's easy is worthwhile. Everyone on here has had deep depression, stress, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, low self esteem, anger problems, losses, and yet many thousands have done the program and are living the lives they always wanted to. I'm so close now and will NEVER GIVE UP...I have worked my butt off and have enjoyed all the sessions and have finally seen all my short comings and am a much more positve, joy filled person. If it doesn't work for you than maybe you aren't working hard enough to use the skills it teaches us. Session 1 is only the beginning. There's a long road ahead and it's a hard journey to finish.

Good Luck

I have just started my 4th session last night and I had doubts also when I first started my anxiety increased, but I kept going and I am seeing results. Don't give up, keep going you will be suprised and happy with the results I promise you. God bless you and your efforts.Debbie D

do you take medication. i am bipolar and i found that before i was diagnosed i was taking anti depressants and they made me feel worse. I take a mood stabalizer now and i feel better. The idea for my comment is have you tried to combine different treatments ie medication and talking to someone and using the depression cd's. I understand how difficult the depression states are, they paralyze me and therefore i do not want to leave my house or get out of bed. Everything that i have to do when i am depressed is a chore.

Oh the series always helps me. This is my second time and it helped me by reminding me that I CONTROL my feelings and my fears. So that I got me to start thinking of why was I getting fearful about work. I was learning something new which made me very uncomfortable (I am a perfectionist) so because I would be feeling this way at work, I would start panicking before I went to work. Once I knew WHY I was having the panic attacks, they stopped and I allowed myself time to get comfortable with what I was doing and I feel great.

I do not like being in situations where I am out of my comfort zone, this is when panic develops. Once I realized this was WHY the panic feelings were developing I accepted that at times I would feel uncomfortable.

So again, I know feel great because now I know WHY.
