| Confidence
is a skill that can be learned. Anxiety is a state of
mind and being that can be reduced and balanced with suitable
knowledge and practice. This potent recording gives listeners
the understanding and the practical methods for turning
down anxiety symptoms and turning them into useful signals.
It also teaches effective imaginative techniques for rehearsing
new confidence skills and achieving realistic goals. |

We
depend on habits but changing them may be challenging.
Will power alone is often ineffective; one needs something
more. In this recording, you will learn to understand
how habits and addictive behaviours work. More importantly,
you will learn how to use your imagination in positive
ways to overcome and alter them. And you can learn powerful
ways to shape new patterns through effective imaginative
and metaphorical rehearsal. |
