Testimonials
“That was fun! I never thought learning about myself and fixing my faults would be as fun as working on vintage cars, which is my hobby.” —Alan David “I was complaining to the doctor that my medication was not helping my anxiety any more, hoping she would give me a higher dose or add in something new. Instead, she asked me what I was doing on my own to help relieve the anxiety. When I couldn’t think of anything, she referred me to the Anxiety Toolbox Program. I chose to learn meditation and started to practice a number of stress-reducing activities. I even did some biofeedback and learned how to amplify my alpha brain waves. Now I realize that medication only works if I am also doing my part.” —Brian Mathers “After being diagnosed with stage three colon cancer, I developed such severe anxiety that my sleep and appetite got even worse. I was losing weight and was so exhausted that my doctor told me the anxiety was more dangerous than the cancer! After applying some of the tools in the Anxiety Toolbox to my daily life, the anxiety was gone. I am presently in full remission and plan to stay that way.” —Joan Warren “I was on three medications for bipolar disorder, but my depression still got worse. After resorting to alcohol, I got panic attacks for the first time. There were three scary and expensive trips to the ER before my wife gave me the Anxiety Toolbox and helped me find a therapist. Working together with the Toolbox, we not only got the panic attacks to stop, but I am still sober and the bipolar condition is also under better control.” —Darren Milton Jones “The Anxiety Toolbox helped me understand and control my long-term social phobia. It had got to the point that I was avoiding all social contact. Only my cat knew I was still alive. Now I can get out and interact well in small or large groups. It has opened a whole new life for me.” —Dan Freeman “No more spider-phobia after completing the Anxiety Toolbox Program and creating a desensitization hierarchy. I can even go camping with my family and enjoy it!” —Janice Wu “My OCD was out of control with weird behaviors to control my anxiety. If I didn’t perform all my special rituals and routines, I would start to panic. My psychiatrist put me on an SSRI medication and recommended the Anxiety Toolbox, especially the part on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Now I have healthy ways to control my condition that are much more effective.” —Jerry-Ann Williams “Anxiety is damn funny when it happens to someone else. Dr. Gardner and Dr. Bell’s new book on Phobias will show you both the amusing and the tragic sides of these disorders, and help you back to a state of calm and good humor.” —David Henry “Dr. Gardner and Dr. Bell’s books are designed to raise self-awareness and self- esteem. I think this is the greatest gift a person can give themselves. Don’t let emotional problems keep you from opening your heart to all that life has to offer.” —Ashu Hammas
