This is an excellent CD for anyone suffering with anxiety or panic attacks. On the first CD Dr Gurgevich explains everything there is to know about anxiety and panic. He talks about his own experiences with panic attacks and how he overcame them. I've been experiencing frequent anxiety attacks and it was very comforting to hear Dr G. talk about his own experiences and how alone one can feel when experiencing them. My first reaction was to shout "YES!... that's exactly how I've been feeling!" And I felt a sense of relief hearing that the cause and the antidote are one and the same...the mind.

The second CD has four hypnosis sessions. The first session is for everyday use and practice. It contains a wonderful progressive relaxation exercise. The second session is a practice session for future events that might cause anxiety, and the rehearsing of relaxation responses to replace the anxiety when the event arrives. In the third hypnosis session, Dr G guides the listener through an induction technique using the 4-7-8 breathing technique. This is a breathing exercise that was developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, it is most effective for calming the body's reaction to stress and anxiety... and what a wonderful induction method as well. The fourth hypnosis session is a fast acting session that produces an immediate sense of calmness, peace, and comfort within.

I've been practicing the self-hypnosis sessions every day and have found them to be very effective in relieving anxiety. I highly recommend this CD.
