Does the Lucinda Bassett program work?

I stumbled across a few posts referencing the Lucinda Bassett program (Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety).  Browsing the net, I was skeptical as to the validity of the reviews for the program.  I was wondering if any of you have tried the program.  For those of you who have, how would you rate the program and were the results significant and sustained?

I also bought this program.  They don't tell you that although you have the option to return it, you have to pay around 15.00 to do so.  And, they are very hateful when you ask them about that.  They told me that if I didn't like it, all it would cost me was the 14.95 to ship to me.  What a crock.  The whole thing is a crock.

I not only bought the program, but I'm also reading her book, "From Panic to Power".  I honestly do think that if you are skeptical about the program and its results, then you aren't going to get the results you want.  You need to go into it with an open mind, and tell yourself that you are ready to make some changes in your life.  I used to suffer from anxiety, and panic attacks on a daily basis.  Everything I've read has helped to change how I think.  I feel like a new person, and I enjoy life so much more than I ever have before.  I feel like I can take on the world.  And all I had to do was think positive.  Best of luck.

This program saved my life. I was 20 when I started getting real bad panic attacks and thought I was loosing my mind.  I didn't know what anxiety disorder was at the time, and this was the first thing that I came across that I could identify with what they were talking about.  I never did finish all the tapes in the program, as I felt I didn't need to, but you do have to be strict with the program or don't bother. I guess it depends on how badly you want to get better?  I still have the tapes and just knowing I have them eases my anxiety to this day.  I am now 31, and I don't have panic attacks anymore (knock on wood).  It's all thanks to this program.  I do still feel anxious, but I know how to control the feeling.  Really, anxiety is all related to your thoughts, and if you know how to control them life will be much more pleasant.  If you think the price is expensive then I guess you have to ask yourself how much do you value the happiness and calmness in your life? Really I think it is a small price to pay for a life of happiness. Feeling sceptical is normal seeings how there is so many bad programs out there, but I can assure you this is not one of them! I still use techniques from the program to help me get through some of my struggles, such as flying.  I won't be able to travel if I never had bought these tapes, and that would be very sad considering all the wonderful things I have seen in my life so far!  Good luck, be happy and the calmness will follow. Hope this helps you!

I tried Lucinda's program as well as numerous others over the years. In the end, I was left with a little less money and still have my anxiety and panic. Download it for free if you can and give it a try but I would not spend the money for her program.

While many are trying to prove a scam (or not) let's just say you're all commenting on the value or worth of the product. For those who find help it's invaluable, for others the "cost" outways your doubts of the product. But you would still pay that Lawyer $400 for 1/2 hour to try to get off that $125 speeding fine and that's ACCEPTABLE! Now there's a scam.
Having listened to Attacking Stress then there are some clear examples that I (you) could follow......and yes you all are correct I could have paid more or even less than this program charges. The question is whether you are prepared to accept advice, and some are clearly in that position so that this series will help {Lucinda or whoever does it). Others are not BUT you did come here to look for advice so admit it you are seeking something.
Personally though I find that the technique she uses is nothing new. And if you want a cheaper method look for the book "Changing Your Life in 7 Days" by Paul McKenna........pay $15 and get the CD with it. Is she ripping off her peers and the people she learned techniques from????
Give us a break we have ALL done that ...... just look at the way you responded to others posts.

If you just think that using Lucindas program is the end all to end all it isn't-But many years ago when there was no Internet access and many people didn't get what anxiety was about-her program had more value-Now you can find out anything on the Internet so it's a bit outdated
