Thought Of The Week:

"In my mother's generation, shy people were seen as introverted and perhaps a bit awkward, but never mentally ill...But shyness isn't just shyness any more. It's a disease.  It has a variety of overwrought names, including 'social anxiety' and 'avoidant personality disorder,' afflictions said to trouble millions (almost one person in five, according to some estimates). And since the early 1990's, when the U.S. Food and Drug administration agreed that powerful psychotropic drugs were suitable ways of treating these conditions, countless Americans and Britons have daily swallowed large doses of Paxil, Proza, Zoloft and other pills for routine emotions experts now consider medical conditions...."

- Christopher Lane, "Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness", Yale University Press, New Haven and London 2007 www.Yalebooks.com 
 

Welcome to the first full week of the new year! How's your anxiety level? We're going to talk a little bit about the "Dark Side" right now.

Did you know that one of the side effects of the anti-anxiety drug Paxil is....Anxiety?

Many of you are aware that in addition to writing songs, I work with people to rapidly overcome their fears, phobias, anxiety, shyness, worry etc. These were issues that I, myself struggled with.

It wasn't until I discovered the tools of NLP, Time Line, EFT, and Self hypnosis that I was able to blast through my anxiety and shyness and leave them behind. I never had any kind of health insurance so "luckily" drugs were not an option for me. I had to find other ways.

The other day, I was cruising around www.YouTube.com  doing a little research and I cam across a number of videos by people who were trying to "taper off" Paxil. They were eloquently expressing the agony of getting "un-hooked" from this drug that was supposed to help them.

If ever there was testimony for alternative approaches this is it. Trembling, headaches, mysterious pain all over, weird electric jolt-like brain shocks, depression, exhaustion and more.

Here's one of them.

This is why I put the anxiety clearing technique up on my www.ClearFear.com website. It's free. It takes about 10 minutes to go through the process from scratch and only seconds to do it, once you learn it. If you or anyone you know suffers from anxiety and is thinking about going on meds for it. PLEASE check this out first.

This is one of my best tools for helping people (and myself) to clear anxiety and keep it cleared WITHOUT HARMFUL DRUGS (sorry about the caps I'm just feeling a bit passionate about this stuff after seeing the video above).

The technique is at:
