Lucinda Bassett's Program, Attacking Anxiety & Depression.

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
This place was a haven for me back in 2006 as I was going through a horrid bought of PPD. I had never in my life experienced something so frightening and debilitating & it has since changed me in more ways that I can count, ALL positive. Now that's something I didn't think I'd ever be saying lol

I think the most important thing I want to say to those going through PPD is that there IS hope, you WILL heal from it and there IS a light at the end of this.

My story is long & I don't want to bore you with a million tiny details, but suffice it to say my biggest PPD symptom was anxiety & panic attacks, insomnica as well as pure-o OCD thoughts. I was terrified that I would lose control and hurt someone, it was by far the most awful thing I have ever eperienced. By the time my ds was 15 months I had pretty much gained control, most of my fears were gone & I was feeling great! Got pg again and the anxiety/panic attacks came back even worse although ironically I did not have PPD. I tried all sorts of natural supplements, some helped some did not, I also two different tried an anti-depressants, 1 was awful the other helped in ways & in other ways it made things worse. It was through these experiences, many heart felt & tear filled prayers & my desperation to find answers to heal myself that I found Lucinda's program.

I am once again pregnant & while I still struggle a bit with anxiety this program has saved my sanity, my life and my ability to cope in more ways than I can even begin to explain. It has been a LONG three years but the amount of growth that I have gone though has been phenomenal & Lucinda's program has given me the tools I need to over come this ~ for the first time in three years I have complete confidence that I will be able to heal, completley, from this & what an amazing feeling that is.

I know depression can come in many many different forms, and sometimes we need to find out own way in order for it to be a healing journey ~ but I couldn't not share this program it has truly been an answer from God for me. I've been working on it since last October & am on week 9 ~ I've been taking my sweet time with it lol I've also recently picked up her book from Panic to Power which is another great resource.

What I love about this program is it doesn't just address panic & anxiety but also depression ~ it address' SO many different things ~ how we think, what we eat & so on and so forth.

Hopefully by my sharing this it will help someone out there who is feeling alone, scared & hopeless. I am here to tell you there IS hope, you are NOT alone & you WILL heal.

My husband bought this for me because I suffered from anxiety. I have to admit that after going through the cd's, that it helped me a lot to deal with my anxiety. Afterwards I was doing things that I would never have thought possible.

I enthusiastically agree. I still use the principles, 7 years later. This program saved my life, my sanity, and now my children's sanity. I thank Lucinda for this amazing program!!! Thank you OP for posting this!

Does it really work? Worth the $$$?

I have dealt with various forms of Pure O my entire adult life. I have also had panic attacks since I was 5. My mom committed suicide just before my fourth birthday, so I'm think that has something to do with my fears/anxiety. I've been on LB's forums but I'm not good at following through with things. I don't want to invest in tapes that don't really work. I'm a little ADD and very busy with my little one so sitting by the cd player for hours (I don't work outside the house so I can't really listen to it on the way to anything) is not an option.

How/When do you listen to the tapes/cds? How long before you start feeling/seeing results?

I've been crying out to God to heal me of this horrid disorder. It spikes at night so I have to take sleeping meds and then other meds for depression and anxiety. I'd love to get off some of these meds and have the horrible images/obsessions go away.

Thanks for reading/listening. I'm new here.
