In this self-guided program, you will learn to quiet your mind and enter a deeply relaxed state. Relaxation is the direct antidote to stress and tension. In addition to this relief of generalized anxiety, using this tool, you’ll be able to systematically focus on those situations and issues that tend to trigger your fear and anxiety and to systematically train your unconscious mind.

Your heart's beating fast, your breathing is shallow, you're perspiring, your thoughts are racing, you're overcome by a feeling of dread...

Do certain situations or people trigger theses symptoms for you? Chances are these reactions are the result of an uncomfortable or traumatic experience from earlier in your life. Now, any situation, which your unconscious mind sees as being similar to the original “sensitizing” event, can cause you to feel afraid even when current circumstances don't merit that response.

Having your third-grade classmates erupt in laughter when you forgot your lines in the school play, for example, can make social situations today difficult even when there's no threat of embarrassment. Childhood abuse from a large, angry father can make an adult child fearful in the presence of large men even when there is no real danger and even if the fearful person is in fact larger than those men.

These are, of course, only examples – the sensitizing events in your life, and your emotional reactions to them might be quite different. The basic pattern, however, will be similar, and the fearful response you learned is certainly not helpful – and in many cases can actually be harmful. Fortunately there is a way to calm the fear and desensitize the triggers.

In Freeing Yourself From Fear, Dr. Miller introduces you to the power of deep relaxation and guided imagery and shows how to use them to eliminate the anxiety and fear.
