"I completed the program in December 2002 and cannot tell you how wonderful life has been for me since I started the program last year. I went through the program twice. The first time was very helpful but the second I had a coach (Wendy) and it was amazing how much this helped me.

I was one of those people who carried on with life as if nothing was wrong. But I could tell, and it scared me, that I was beginning to show outward signs of the fear. It just takes its toll after years of keeping up the facade.

I, like so many others was immobilized with fear all my life. I cannot remember a day when I didn't experience fear. But today, I am very confident and have overcome so much... My dream was to be able to drive up and down Monteagle Mountain in SE Tennessee. This is about a two hour drive and praise God I did it!!!!! I have not been able to drive like that in so many years. You can only imagine the joy I felt when I got home. And to think my husband was a passenger- was a miracle in itself!! He encouraged me to do this. I am so glad I faced my fear and did it anyway.

One really good thing the program has taught me (there are so many to mention) is that you first have to feel the fear and do it anyway. How much sense does that make?? It makes all the sense in the world! I reasoned, "How do you learn to swim if you never go into the water?" This program has shown me more than I could ever begin to tell you and to think that it is based on just common sense. But you know, I think when fear grips you, your focus is on the fear instead of your God-given common sense.

I realize- What you think is where your power is.

I love the tape by Carolyn, DRIVING WITH COMFORT. It has helped me so much. My biggest problem was driving and I realize that having that fear was also contributing to other phobias until I went through the information in the program. I could then see that I was a huge "what if " thinker... Thank you, thank you, thank you is all I know to say! You ALL have touched and blessed my life in a way that I will never be the same again. Today, I can say honestly that I am glad I experienced panic attacks because I am much stronger and have been able to help more people because of it and finding this program has given me the tools to de-power those strongholds that I lived with all my life.

I am 55 years old and can honestly say that my life is better today than it has ever been. Lucinda, thank you for sharing your life with me and others like me. Half of my problem was solved just hearing that someone knew exactly what I was feeling. ... I am so grateful to learn that since I caused it with my thoughts... I can also change it by my thoughts. What power!!!

I could go on and on, but just wanted to share with you the highlights of what is going on in my life today as a result of how one day a prayer was answered and God put us (Midwest Center) together.

Sincerely, Elaine Mount"
