!sI seen the infromercial about 6 months ago bought them and sat on them about three weeks trying to figure out if i should send them back or try them.After i listened to the second tape i discovered a life that i thought was for everyone else but me.Since then i have gone through the 15 weeks and cannot tell you how much better i feel.Yes i still have an occasional fit but now i have tools to fight those feelings.I thank God that i bought those tapes and listened to them!!!!!I am off of all my related meds and am really starting to LIVE!MY wife of 39 years says that she has seen a huge change in my entire outlook on life so thank you Lucinda cause i know that i could not have got this far without those tapes.

Congratulations Huber!!!

I'm glad that I read your post. I kind of ran out of gas after session 8 and, of course have started having some problems again. It's comforting to know that I just need to get started again! Thanks for sharing your success.

I used the tapes about 15 years ago and did quite a bit better but never conquered all of my limitations. I was off medicatioyn for about eight years and functioning fairly normally until about 2 months ago. I let the anxiety get the best of me and I just gave up a little over a week ago. I've been severely depressed and bed ridden since then. I was feeling hopeless and felt like the program didn't work for me, so I just ordered the coaching program.

Im new to the program, i wont say i feel great already, but i will say im looking forward to something. before the program arrived yesterday, i felt like this isnt going to work, but after watching the first session, i do feel a little better about it. and i think the relaxation audio is good for me, im one of those wound up people.

I am new to this program and still quite a bit skeptical. I have had mental health problems probably since I was 12 or 13. My mother had mental health/alcohol abuse issues. I was raised mostly by my grandparents who were very overprotective of me. I live in a community mental health residence. My case manager here wants me to a move to a more independent setting, but I have had a bad track record of living alone (the last time I lived alone I did not take care of myself or my apartment and ended up in the hospital for three months along with losing my job). I currently live on Social Security Disability and have a therapist and am on medication for anxiety. I was hoping this program would help me deal with my phobias about living alone and help me conquer some of my fears. I don't like being in the hospital and don't want to be in there again (along with the fact that they charge a lot for very little service that is beneficial to me). Any words of encouragement?

Hello, I just finished the 1st session and I feel like it's still an infomercial. All I got from the cd was how good the Midwest center program is. I liked the workbook. I'll try another session next week. Wish me luck. llw

Are you observing your behavior? Do you do negative self talk? Have you done the relaxation session twice a day? Are you journaling? I think session one is more about admitting and accepting the fact that you do have a problem. If you do not acknowledge that you have a problem this program will be difficult to work.

Hi, I'm now on Week 10 of the program--trying to apply more of the workbook-still haven't started too much of a journal--still need to replace negative thoughts but have been feeling better about myself despite being unemployed. I have been taking some refresher driving lessons (I have a license but haven's driven in about 7 1/2 years), and they seem to be going pretty well. Am trying to keep optimistic about life although sometimes it's difficult. Have to really start committing to that journal.

I haven't paid for this program and I have 30 days to decide to keep it or not. I listend to Session 1
I cannot pay $540.00 for these CDs. I don't know what to do. Will they let you pay about $30.00 a week for this program.
Wish I could afford this.

I know how big and overwhelming the financial burden can be. I was in the same place a couple weeks ago. Check out the 'I'm afraid to even start' forum for my messages and those who responded to me. You may find an answer in there. Just remind yourself of one thing - you ordered this program for a very important reason. Do what you can to help yourself through the hardships in your life. Even when money is very tight, the help you can get through this program will pay for itself, at least that is the way I am trying to look at it.

I actually have had this program for 2 years now. When I got it I was so excited to start so that I could start living. Unfortunately, at the same time I resorted to alcohol and this became a big problem fast. I never pulled out the program again until now, after letting alcohol make a huge mess of my life. So now I am serious, as I thought I was then. I have a difficult person in my life that does not support these efforts of mine, so I have to "sneak" around to do this. When I am confident and empowered again, hopefully through the help of this program and other counseling, I will take the steps necessary to eliminate difficult people affecting me, or I should say, I will not allow this anymore. I do have confidence in this program and am ever grateful for the help and support.
