FEEDBACK

Dear Rita,
It is wonderful to hear how well you are doing. I knew you could do it. Remember, you are the one responsible for the way you feel and YOU will always be in charge of your feelings and reactions! It all begins with a thought. Keep up the good work and keep in touch. It's always great to hear from you!
All my best wishes,
Dr. Ronnie

Dear Dr. Ronnie,
I was afraid to call the first time. I had taken other programs and they did not work for me. I didn't think I could take another chance. I was at the end of my rope one night and forced myself to dial the helpline. From that moment on everything began to turn around, the right way. I forgot how good it felt to feel calm and relaxed, to be the observer. I was so caught up in this condition I was losing who I was. I was also embarrassed to have this. I was a top athlete in college, successful in most of my relationships and have quite a name in the business world now. And here I was, lost and not knowing where to go or how to get out of this. My wife was ready to leave if I didn't get it together but she stayed and helped me work through this. She even listened to the tapes along with me. Believe it or not, these tapes improved our relationship plus cured me of my agoraphobia. It helped to bring us together. I know it takes the person to recover themselves but you are the one responsible for my happiness and you are the one I want to send good thoughts to and you are the one we owe this to. I hope you continue your work and everyone knows what a kind and completely giving person you are. I owe you who I am today and I'll never forget it. Bless you from my entire family.

Dear Bill,
I know what it is like to feel overwhelmed by anxiety and I also know how wonderful it feels to be in total control of your life again. These coping methods will remain with you for your entire life. They will always work. We all face stresses in life but knowing you have these tools to interrupt anxiety symptoms places you in complete control. Continued success and thank you for sharing with us.

Dear Anxiety Busters!
I was the one who was never going to get well. I was locked within my house, hopeless and beside myself 24 hours a day. I dropped out of school and had no plans for tomorrow let alone my future. I found a friend in Ronnie, much more than a support person. She cared beyond this because she was there. She knew what I was speaking about when I told her how I felt. She was understanding and at the same time she gave me things to do about this that worked. I was afraid in the beginning and had to force myself but I did it little by little. She gave me the encouragement and strength to do it. I cried so often to her on the phone. I was afraid she'd be sick of me but she patiently listened and never rushed me off. This is my letter of thanks and to tell you I have re-enrolled in my college, am living in an apartment of my own and I am dating again. How can I ever thank you? I hope you can know how good I feel because of you. The program was worth its weight in gold and I keep it with me always. I also keep the memory of how kind and thoughtful you are and I will never forget you. I was the person taking medication, getting horrible side effects and worst of all, still feeling anxious. Then I took this program and I'm better, fully recovered and off medication completely and know I can cope without pills now.
I send you my greatest appreciation,
Tara L.

Dear Tara,
It's always scary in the beginning if you are unaware of what is going on. That is why knowledge truly is power. Understanding plus coping skills combined with proper diet/nutrition will give you back your life. There is nothing like taking your life back. Tara, take care of yourself and keep in touch. It's always a pleasure to talk with you! Thank you for your note and your very kind words!
All my best to you always,
Ronnie

Dr.Ronnie,
I sent you an E-mail yesterday and I can't believe you replied so quickly. I'm going to wait and see how my counselling with my therapist goes but the tips you gave have certainly helped. It has also made me feel so much more positive - I can see people in EXACTLY the same situation I am now who have recovered. Really, I just wanted to say thankyou for taking the time to respond in full even though I'm not on your program. When I read your reply, it brought tears to my eyes to think that a complete stranger had taken so much care. Really, thank you.

Dear Dr. Ronnie and everyone at Anxiety Busters!,

At first I thought this was a miracle to be going out and loving life again but you showed me that it was ME. You taught me how to rely on the person I was all along but just didn't recognize. These skills have changed all my relationships in such a tangible way. I act differently now and people are treating me differently in return. I don't feel the conflict any longer because I'm a happier person. People treat me with respect now because I've learned to respect myself and it feels great! It is a trickle down theory just like you said. I'm so proud of who I am now and all I can say is I may have done it but it was because of what you taught me. You are truly my angel! Deepest thanks and gratitude for everything and God Bless. Vince, FL

Dear Anxiety Busters,

One sentence says it all. I WENT ON MY FIRST VACATION IN TWENTY YEARS! I took
the tapes because I'm in the middle of the program and I listened to them before I went to bed
every night. I had the best time in the whole world and I can't wait to go back. I danced, swam, ate in fancy restaurants and had pure fun. At first I thought I would be apprehensive because it's been
so long and I went slowly, but once I got started I just couldn't stop. It was so freeing there was no turning back. When we left to come home I told the person at the desk to make reservations for us same time next year, because I know I'll be back! Thank you a million times!!!!! Katie C. CA

Dear Anxiety Busters,

I was so afraid when I started experiencing those strange feelings and just knowing I could listen to my tapes, go over the workbook and talk to you made it okay. Yes, I learned to be patient and
was surprised how quickly the unpleasant feelings subsided when I followed your coping skills.
I feel like I know you now and just wanted to say thank you for being there for me. You helped
me through a really tough time in my life and now I feel like I not only regained my life back but found a better one than it even was before.

Dear Dr. Ronnie,

What can I say, except I feel like a new person. I am a new person. I’m not afraid anymore.
At first it felt weird to not feel the fear anymore. I actually got used to it being a part of my life. But don’t worry, I’m get used to living without it! I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I appreciated you talking to me right before I left on my trip. I was just a little bit scared about driving to the hotel, but after I spoke to you I felt my confidence return and it was as easy as you said it would be. I just followed the concepts like a recipe and they did work. The scared feelings never once got a chance to build. The trip was a complete success and I AM THRILLED! Thanks again for your patience and your advice. I know I can keep on going without the fear of failure. The reassurance was just what I needed.

Dear Dr. Ronnie,

I just arrived home after dinner and a movie. Maybe to some people that’s not a big deal but to me
it is everything. Your program is what enabled me to do this and to keep on doing things. Just to be able to talk to someone who understands because they experienced it is so comforting to me. I’m learning to depend on myself again with the help of these unbelievable tapes. I know we’ve never met but I feel like I know you and you are a part of my life now. I can’t thank you enough for
helping me find out just what power I really have over this condition and my life. I’ve learned so much and I know I’ll keep on moving forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Dear Anxiety Busters,

When I heard about you, I never thought you could help me. I thought I was worse than anyone else. I was resistant when I began the program and wasn’t sure I could ever be who I used to be.
I was sad, angry and unhappy. That was then. Now I am someone so different. It’s like a whole
new me. I can’t believe it and my whole family can’t believe it’s me. I do things, I go places and
I’m better than I ever was in my life. I have a reason to get up in the morning because I’m interested in life again. I have things that hold my interest other than this condition. It’s made me rethink my whole life and now I have goals. I know I can be whatever I choose to be and it’s the most exciting feeling I’ve ever felt. I love the new person I’ve become and so do others. I’m dating now and I have a life......a real life. Thank you so much for this course and what it’s done for me. It’s changed my life more than I can even express. I give thanks every day that I happened to find it and for the strength it gave me to find a fulfilling life!
