I love to fish, but everytime we go out far in the ocean, I get very nervous (it's the same feeling I get about flying). I keep it in and it really seems like I am having a good time, but inside I am always feeling like I am about to have a panic attack. Well, this weekend we went out again. On Friday, I listened to the "What if" tape (that is a real problem for me) and it really seemed to help. I had a great time! I was a little nervous at first but I just kept replaying the tape in my head and it really worked. It feels so wonderful to have tackled this fear. Now the next one is the plane, and I will do that too.
Peace and Happiness! Casey

Hi Casey! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! It is so exciting to realize that the key to freedom is in your mind. That means you don't have to search beyond yourself, but rather right there in the boat was the answer to prevent the panic. What an awesome power to come to know.
I haven't got to the "what-if" tape yet, but i'm looking forward to it now!!!
Congrats again.....

That Is Great News Casey, I started the program two weeks ago and I am starting to feel a little better. I finally decided to do something about it since I found out that I have to travel by plane to a conference in July. I started to have anticipitory anxiety and it was only April for crying out loud! I hope that by July I have the same success that you had out on the boat. I know if I was invited to go out on a boat today I would really have to struggle through it. I hope this program conquers our fears. Good Luck!!!!
