I totally recommend the hypnotherapy program as well. Michael is amazing! It went beyond helping me with my IBS symptoms and truly helped my anixety as well. I deal with everything a lot differently now. I actually just feel calmer, which is fabulous. However, there is the occassion when I feel like I am going over the edge and I wish I could have Michael whispering in my ear right then, but I just go back and mentally focus on the lessons I learned from the CDs, which does help. One other thing I have found in trying to get out of my own head which can be a death trap as you know is music. I try to walk for exercise, but that doesn't always happen, but when I do I plug in my Ipod and tune out everything else. I have also started doing this at the grocery store or Walmart. I will even do it while cleaning the house. My song variety changes and some are slow songs, others fast and peppy. It doesn't seem to matter because it is a good flow to whatever I am doing. It makes the stress of do I have enough money at the grocery store, or gee that person is blocking the isle, or why is my house always so dusty seem like no big deal. I think some times are subconsious stores up these little annoyances and as soon as something big hits it is too much for our brains to handle. I stopped taking anxiety medicine several months back before I started the hypnotherapy and I feel so much better without it. I hope maybe my little trick will help you too. Just try to zone out. Also, a hot bath before bed and no tv or computer. Don't stimulate your brain too much before trying to fall asleep. Definitely get the CDs though Michael's voice will lull you to sleep:)
