When listened to repeatedly, either as separate segments or cumulatively as a whole set, these tracks will dramatically reduce anxiety and the frequency and intensity of panic attacks by teaching relaxation at will, reducing fear and isolation, and instilling a sense of mastery and control in the listener. After two to three weeks, most people experience a substantial reduction or even elimination of panic attacks' classic symptoms. For some, this guided meditation for panic attacks has reduced the need for medication, and in some instances, it has even replaced it.

HELPED TREMENDOUSLY WITH PANIC ATTACKS

Publisher's summary
This audiobook contains everything that patients need to help them prepare for and recover from surgery they are about to undergo.
Forty years of research has shown that patients who are psychologically prepared for surgery have vastly improved outcomes. It has all been shown that self-hypnosis, when used in addition to anesthesia, can decrease anxiety and pain and hasten healing.
Hypnotically prepared patients are shown to have shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain and nausea, need fewer pain medications, and suffer less anxiety and blood loss than patients who receive routine care.
The techniques used combine imagination with building belief and expectation to create a safe, gentle, and effective way to reduce stress and relieve pain. They allow the patient to tap into their own inner resources so that they are in the best frame of mind for surgery. This results in less pre-operative anxiety, less post-operative discomfort, and faster healing.
This audiobook contains two parts: one to listen to before having surgery to reduce stress and anxiety and to sow the seeds of rapid recovery and another to listen to after surgery to further promote healing and recovery.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Are you too nice? If you find it hard to be assertive, directly ask for what you want, or say "no" to others, then you just might be suffering from too much niceness. In this controversial book, world-renowned confidence expert, Dr. Aziz Gazipura, takes an incisive look at the concept of nice. Through his typical style, Dr. Aziz uses engaging stories, humor, and disarming vulnerability to cut through the nice conditioning and liberate the most bold, expressive, authentic version of you.

Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it.

Felt like I was in a horror film!
I very much agree with the principle of preparing for surgery with self hypnosis, mindfulness, and imagery but the narrator was so unnecessarily affected and the music was straight out of an episode of Night Shadows or The Twilight Zone. This was more frightening than relaxing on the one hand and comical on the other. The narrator could maybe just have relaxed a bit and perhaps there should have been some greater effort to find more uplifting /relaxing music. So glad I sampled it before taking in to surgery!
