Product Description
Book Description
Support your treatment goals and meet managed-care requirements with this audio-based recovery program that helps people overcome panic disorder, agoraphobia, social and generalized anxiety, and phobias. State-of-the-art cognitive-behavioral strategies endorsed by leading clinical experts provide panic relief and help listeners learn the skills they need to manage anxiety disorders before the problem gets out of control. This six-tape program also is ideal for helping clients reduce chronic stress and tension. The first five instructional audiotapes feature two 15-20 minute sessions, teaching individuals or groups to manage panic attacks, practice new ways to relax, think their way to recovery, expose themselves to feared situations, make lifestyle changes, and increase confidence. Calm Down, the sixth audiotape in this program, helps listeners turn off the panic button, breathe away stress, and experience total body relaxation. Weekly homework assignments reinforce lessons presented in therapy and on tape and encourage clients to practice their new skills daily. Individuals who are not currently working with therapists can benefit from this program, too, by following a plan of self-directed study. This program is a comprehensive anxiety-management program for individuals or groups and includes six audiotapes (ten instructional sessions plus four relaxation scripts), worksheets with homework assignments to support each session, and Overcoming Panic, Anxiety, & Phobias, a practical self-help handbook of coping strategies.

With the 10-Week Recovery Program, I finally did recover., Sep 28 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Panic Recovery Program (Paperback)
After years of unsuccessfully fighting panic attacks, I had just about given up. I was so discouraged and felt like such a failure.I had been working with a therapist, but I could only see her once every two weeks. In the meantime, my panic attacks would get worse, and at each visit, it seemed like I was starting all over again.
My therapist finally recommended the Recovery Program. It includes Overcoming Panic, Anxiety, & Phobias, and it also has 5 audio tapes. You're supposed to listen to one side of a tape, about 15 minutes, every day for a week. During that week, you also use a little booklet that goes along with the tape and read in the book. I found that they reinforced each other and gave me the support I needed to keep going.
The other part of the recovery program is the CalmDown relaxation tape. I used it every day in the beginning. Gradually, I learned how to relax my body and my mind without even needing the tape.
Now I can do everything I want to do without the fear and confusion that made me miserable for so long.

Extremely helpful, Aug 2 2006
By Kris White - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Panic Recovery Program (Paperback)
I bought these tapes three years ago and actually captured the cassettes into MP3 files so I could carry them around in my player and listen to them. They have been very helpful and well worth the money.
Depending on your level of anxiety to begin with, you will probably listen to them longer than 10 weeks. Overcoming anxiety is sometimes like watching a glacier melt (pre-global warming.. when it took longer), but the progress is there. At different points when I've had anxiety come back (as it does cycle sometimes), I've gone back to the tapes and listened to them again.
Listmania!
