Overcoming Anxiety about Doctors
A Self-Guided Success Story

"I have always had a fear of doctor’s offices and usually get highly stressed out whenever I have to visit one. The first time I had a doctor’s appointment after I bought the CD, I was amazed to find that the words and images of relaxation automatically repeated in my head, calming and soothing my mind to the point that I experienced none of my usual reaction!"
-- Devin B., college student

These words are taken from one of the many testimonials we have received praising Joel Levey's Self-Guided Relaxation CD.

Numerous people have found the guided imagery on this CD to be very effective in helping to relieve anxiety -- both a general state of anxiety as well as specific anxieties, such as anxiety about doctors.

The CD works in two ways to help relieve anxiety.  First, it has an immediate calming effect when you listen to the soothing voice of Joel Levey guide you in relaxation exercises and techniques.

Second, with regular use of the CD -- even as little as five minutes a day -- you'll start to recall some of the techniques at times when you're not listening.   In other words, you'll start to learn how to use these techniques on your own.  Here's more from the testimonial:

"My first visit to the doctor’s office after I started using the CD started out the same as all the other visits before.  When I walked through the doors and into the office, the smell hit me and I immediately began to feel slightly light-headed, just like I always had.  I sat in the waiting room, nervous and fidgeting, trying to shake the unpleasant feeling."

"Then, without even thinking about it, some of the guided imagery words and phrases from the Self-Guided Relaxation CD started going through my head.  I began repeating some of them in my mind and after a few minutes something began to change. Not only did I feel more relaxed and calm, my feeling of light-headedness began to wane. As I continued repeating, the anxious feelings completely disappeared. I was left with an alert, centered, and accepting state of mind. The receptionist called my name.  I rose and entered the doctor’s office. Throughout the entire appointment, my usual symptoms were nowhere to be found."

"Since that day, each visit to the doctor has gotten increasingly easier. I have even been able to get shots without passing out at all."

Learning and practicing the dynamic relaxation techniques on this CD can have a powerful positive effect, both emotionally and physically.
