Not long ago I asked the question here on my blog if you were ready for a completely different approach to treating anxiety, fears, and panic attacks.
You can check it out here if you missed it.
The answer was an overwhelming YES.
That was music to my ears, because to be honest with you, I wasn’t sure which way it would go…
I’ve been working on this new resource for awhile, and it was tough to keep myself from watering things down to make it more palatable. Most authors don’t write like they would to a lifelong friend who desperately needed thier help, but that’s how I’ve come to look at you, so I felt like I NEEDED to do just that. That NOT doing it wasn’t fair to you, and it wasn’t being fair to ME either.
See, I think the natural inclination is to try to blend in…to mold and conform to what everyone else is doing…to think that if you stand out, there must be something wrong.
Hey, I’m human, I fall for it too!
So although I’ve always written from my heart, and my programs and writing and the fact that I keep up this blog make me different than most other anxiety “experts”, there was also a piece of me that modeled MY work after everything else out there. It was different…it had big pieces of me in it and that’s why it’s been so successful…but it wasn’t completely me. I got drawn into a bit of conformity too I suppose. I didn’t want to stand out TOO much.
See, when you’re just one on one with me, I tell it like it is, no holds barred and nothing held back…I come out with both barrels blazing because I want you to see the truth FAST and start getting better. But that’s definitely NOT what the norm is…everything is soft and fuzzy and doesn’t want anyone to think they’re doing anything wrong or feel bad for so much as a nanosecond…
Well hey, sorry Charlie. If you’re with me and you tell me something you’re doing that’s wrong and is holding you back, I’m going to tell you you’re wrong in no uncertain terms, and I don’t care if it stings at first as long as you put your anxiety behind you.
But for some reason I was never able to fully capture that in my writing until now…like I said, I didn’t want to stand out too much.
I used to listen when people would say…
“You can’t say that!”
“Nobody else is doing that”
“People with anxiety can’t handle that, you’ve got to tone it down.”
Not anymore.
GREAT things and BREAKTHROUGHS never happen from being like everyone else, they happen from being UNLIKE everyone else.
What you’re going to see from me in the coming weeks is different. A LOT different.
Not just different for me, but different for EVERYONE.
It’s unlike ANYTHING I’ve ever seen written about anxiety, panic, or phobias, and I’ve seen most of it. I think it’s going to change a lot of things in the industry, and get a TON of attention, precisely because it’s so wildly different from anything else out there.
Will everyone like it? Just like anything different, probably not. I’m ok with that, because I believe that for the people that are drawn to it, it can be life changing.
I decided I’m going to let everyone have the first chapter for free, that way you won’t have to guess if it’s something that is right for you. If it is, you’ll know it quick. If it isn’t, well, you’ll know that even quicker. I’ll have that too you as soon as possible.
I’ve had a test group of clients review it, and I have to tell you, the feedback has been phenomenal. I’m so excited to get it to you, I can’t stand it, but there’s so many details that go into something like this it’s ridiculous and I absolutely refuse to make it available until it’s PERFECT. Especially since it’s already gotten a mention on TV and around the net…it’s going to set off a firestorm and people are going to crawl out of the woodwork so it better be spot on….
Also, I think it’s important to mention that this isn’t a replacement for anything I’ve done in the past, but a different perspective and way of viewing anxiety and treatment as a whole, a complete paradigm shift. What you’ve already learned in the Driving fear Program or Panic Puzzle should continue to be used, but when you read what I have coming it will work MUCH more effectively.
I also worked with a Dr. on this, and you’ll hear from him too as part of the new material, so I think you’ll enjoy that as well, and I have something that you’re REALLY going to love that you’re going to use WHILE you’re anxious or panicky to bring yourself back down, slow your thoughts, and calm your body so you can get back to your life. It’s like getting tossed a life preserver when you’re drowning…
Can you tell I’m fired up about it?
If you’ve got questions, ask away. I’ll have some more details in the coming weeks…it won’t be long now!
Back to work for me….
