Introduction
1. What is the course for?
This is a new programme to help you overcome your
phobia / O.C.D. At the end of it, you should have achieved a great
deal, even if you haven't got rid of your fears altogether. You should be able:
to tolerate many of the situations
that now frighten you
to live a fuller and more normal life
to approach all your problems with
more self-confidence.
2. Who is the
course for?
It's for anyone who has a phobia / O.C.D that is bad enough to handicap
them and restrict their lives.
whether you are old or
young
whether you are male or female
whether your phobia / O.C.D is recent or
long-standing
whether you have one phobia / O.C.D or a
'cluster' of them.
Everyone will be able to benefit, provided there are no medical
reasons to prevent it.
3.
How does it
work? Will it cure me?
There are two elements to the course: [ to order

1. this package of printed
materials.
2.
self-exposure
‘homework’ and practice.
We must make three important points here:
FIRST
There
is no such thing as a ‘cure’ for anxiety because anxiety is a natural part of
life. What we are looking for is recovery -
the ability to cope with anxiety the way ‘normal’ people do.
SECOND
Nothing
that comes from the outside can cure you because the problem is inside you. It is the things that you do that will bring
recovery and the course is mainly there to help you do them.
THIRD
Although
many thousands of people have recovered using methods like this and although this is the
most advanced course of its kind available, there is no guarantee of success.
Though this course is NOT a magic wand, which will automatically make
your burden of fear evaporate, it does provide a new and different way of helping you to
help yourself.
