Does the Lucinda Bassett program work?

[ryn21]

I stumbled across a few posts referencing the Lucinda Bassett program (Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety).  Browsing the net, I was skeptical as to the validity of the reviews for the program.  I was wondering if any of you have tried the program.  For those of you who have, how would you rate the program and were the results significant and sustained?

JSG....RIGHT ON!!! I so appreciate your comments regarding Lucinda Bassett. I'm not just saying that because I'm in the "helping" industry working with individuals, but because what you said regarding an individuals healing, change & transformation is done by THEIR own mind. I am simply the facilitator of their wonderful tool.....their mind.

I used it and it did work, wonderfuly. the dr. only wanted to put me on meds, the specialest said I would only get worse if I didnt take the meds. guess what i am lovin life and doing great. my mom used it as well and guess what, it works! So what if she is making money from it????? she found a need and filled it, you do the math. I applaud her and wish her well. Anxiety is a theif and will rob you of your life, as well as depression. what works for some doesnt for others..I have learned to relax, breathe, enjoy. I take walks, i get busy. i dont over analize everything. do I still have anxiety, of courses we all do. But the difference is I have learned how to deal with it and with that knowledge comes power to over come. I also take vitimins, but that didnt come about till after i had gone through her course. Is it worth the money? Every penny. I would pay double for it because it works and gave me hope. that was over 10 years ago and my life is better now then it was then by a long shot!!

I never saw one of her commercials, but I heard her speaking once on the radio. I can say, she saved my life. I had severe anxiety , and after years of not being able to deal with it, only it getting worse, I developed depression. I went to a specialest who instead of finding out if there was a root cause wanted to throw a bunch of meds at me. I refused. Then one day while with my family ( whom I tried to hide as much as possible from the problem ) I heard her 1 mn. speach and memerized the phone number. I odrered the system the very next day and that was over 10 years ago. i have learned to deal with my anxiety, my depression is gone, Relaxation learning triggers and how to deal with the problems. Maybe it doesnt help for everyone, but for everyone that it does help we are blessed and happy to share the news. God Bless lucinda basset!

I have been suffering from severe Anxiety and Depression since 2 years ago. I used zoloft. It was after severe emotional stress that I had. I could not work, sleep, even sit still on a chair. I had racing thoughts and I wanted to run. Now, I am much better. I think the things which helped me were first the medication and then time. Time will heal it. The psychiatrist and psychologist were not helpful in my opinion. They were just good because they could provide medical certificates which I could get off from my work for a couple of months. Being away from work and spending my time with my loved ones was very helpful. I think for a person with anxiety, it will be difficult to change his/her mind. Because, the brain is stopped from working. The only thing that can help is just to provide a place in which he/she feels safe and calm. The worst thing about the depression and anxiety is that the person gets pessimistic about everyone/everything so having someone which you can completely trust and rely on is like a miracle. That is my own experience which worked for me well.

Years ago when I was at the end of my rope (before Paxil) I saw her info mercial and was amazed how she used audio and visual elements that were designed to enhance the symptoms of anyone watching.  She used repetitive music/sounds and strange background noises knowing FULL WELLthat people suffering from  extreme anxiety and depression had episodes that were triggered by such media.
