 Dear Friends,

   I was the classic overachiever, perfection seeking individual. I was naturally analytical in nature and always juggling too many events at the same time. I was 17 years old, in college, and living in the moment. Never did take proper nutrition, rest or slowing down into consideration. I was young, enjoying life and completely unaware of self-nurturing, believing I was invincible at the time. I was experiencing stresses in life but feeling young and resilient, I brushed them aside. Then my stresses began to build. A close relative was slowly dying in the hospital, my roster load that semester was heavier than normal, and my boyfriend was far from home. I was losing sleep, not eating properly and worrying about everyone and everything. I was dealing with each of these stresses, and giving 100% attention to all, and it worked for a while. Everyone and everything was taken care of ...but myself.

   We often receive signals to slow down but ignore them. We have little time for self-nurturing. I pushed through fatigue, hunger and was basically running on empty. Eventually it did catch up with me, rendering me exhausted and burned out. I was not much use to anyone, let alone myself. One major panic attack and my world collapsed like a house of cards. I was terrified, confused and completely scattered. I didn't trust myself nor did I know how to cope on a daily basis. I fell into complete avoidance, and my life was put on hold.

   For many years I lived in fear of anxiety symptoms. I was never 100% free. I was basically a functioning agoraphobic. One stress and  I slid back into the pitfalls of anxiety. My self esteem and confidence were gone. Spontaneity was a thing of the past. My mind was always on the alert for anxiety producing stimuli. Through my only coping skill, avoidance, my world became smaller.

   When I finally reached complete anxious exhaustion, I was forced to view this from another perspective. If I wanted to heal, I had to understand what had actually occurred. I had to locate the source of my problem. Eventually I saw the light. I had been trying to change or avoid outside situations, in an effort to turn off the anxiety reactions. When I finally realized the real trigger was the way I perceived situations, external places and events, I began to make progress. My thoughts and perceptions were the catalyst for my anxiety, along with the foods I was eating every day. I thought I was eating healthy, but eating healthy isn't always healthy for the anxiety condition. I began to learn there was a huge difference between healthy nutrition and anxiety neutralizing nutrition. I began to study nutrition and its affect on our behavior and reactions. I found the majority of foods one needs to create a calm body/mind environment are right in our own kitchen. I realized I could use these foods to boost serotonin levels naturally and raise my spirits, remain calm and ward off insomnia. I began to sleep better, feel better and deal more efficiently with life's difficulties. I began to take full responsibility for my actions, and reactions. My confidence was strengthened. My self esteem grew. This is when everything began to turn around.

   With the anxiety neutralize I began to feel stable and in control again. I researched behavioral modification and began practicing these new skills. Each day I was challenging my reactions and growing stronger. I began to experience and inner strength and calm I never possessed before.

   I began to make sweeping decisions concerning my health. Food became fuel for me and enhanced my sense of well-being. Exercise was my salvation as I followed the regimen which I include in the program.

  For me, my method of nutrition balanced with behavioral modification was as serious as training for an event, only on a much more enjoyable and fulfilling level. I was training myself to become stronger, in both mind and body. I was evolving into a self-confident, independent and effective individual.

   My fearful moods began to lift and I developed a stronger mind, body and spirit. The exhaustion and fatigue lifted and was replaced by a calm energy and strong sense of well-being. I didn't realize how much positive change could be brought into my life by nutritional science combined with behavioral modification. I had a new way of thinking and a stronger body due to my change in nutrition.

   I began to share my ideas with others, attended school once again,  achieved my doctorate, and set goals I hadn't thought about in years.

   Eventually anxiety became a distant memory, and helping others my main focus. I've been doing this ever since, and it has been one of my greatest pleasures in life.

 There is a permanent path past the anxiety condition through The Freedman Method. Every technique and solution I used to reach permanent recovery is found in my programs, my counseling sessions and all of my products.

   Anxiety is NOT an illness. When one believes it is an illness, they will behave as if they are ill. This is a learned behavior. Each and every anxiety symptom has a logical explanation and can be reversed.

 I urge everyone to call me at my toll-free number 1-800-670-HOPE and I will explain what this is, what it is not and what is necessary to overcome it permanently. Do not hesitate to call or email me as it is my greatest pleasure to guide someone else past this condition and back into a fulfilling life once again.

  My life was temporarily placed on hold due to overwhelming anxiety symptoms. If I had the capacity to bounce back, anyone can. It was worth the effort and something I will always look back upon with pride. This, was my greatest victory.
