The Calming Words kit is very new , so only a few people who’ve tried it have taken time to write back to me.

I’m hoping that you will let me know how you’re going at support@calmingwords.com

In asking for your feedback, I am not only interested in success stories, though of course, they’re great for you, and for me. If you need any help in measuring how well you’re going, if you need a bit of encouragement and motivation, do please write to me. I promise, absolutely, that I will be delighted to return your e-mail within 24 hours.

David Brady who's an Australian living in Tokyo has tried the kit and had this to say:

“It’s a fifth of the price of other products on the Internet, but it’s easily ten times as good. Believe me, I’ve tried them. And I only say it’s ten times better because it’s quick to read , good to listen to and easy to follow. I don’t have time for 10,000 steps to follow and fifty audio CD's. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but Calming Words really gets to the point and gets there quickly. As a man, I like that.

I used your quick-fix trick in Section Five, and I was very surprised to find that something that simple actually works. I’m only five weeks into the course but already I’m calmer and more positive, about myself and about my ability to escape this monkey on my shoulder. The other thing I like? You don’t say I’ll never have anxiety again. In fact, you make sure we realise how important it is to have some anxiety in our lives. What Calming Words does is let me manage it so it doesn’t manage me. Thank you so much for a fantastic kit.”

A young woman living in rural Victoria in Australia wrote this:

“Thanks Dr Kavanagh for such a great kit. A couple of years ago, out of the blue I’d started feeling really anxious. I had all the symptoms that you describe as panic attacks.
I got to a point where I didn’t want to go out anywhere in case I got those feelings again. The local doctor is great but he really didn’t seem to understand. The other thing is that there are no counsellors around here, so I was feeling very depressed about it all. My husband Steve was really understanding. But as you point out in the e-book, that wasn’t necessarily what I needed, because his understanding helped me to avoid things which I thought might bring on more panic attacks.

 
 
 
 


After a year or so, I realised that I was almost a prisoner in my own home. I finally told my Mum about it and the short version of that bit is that she told my aunt who found your kit on the Internet. My Aunt Hilary said I had nothing to lose by at least trying it and she was right – as usual. I just wanted to say that I’m grateful for your help in getting me to take myself by the hand and to gradually confront my fears. It was difficult. But it’s been worth it. I feel all the things you said I might feel on my journey out of anxiety and the panic attacks. I do feel courageous, and I am.”

And this is from Frank Young in New York

“ It’s great. When I first read about another resource on how to beat stress, anxiety and panic attacks I thought that it would be one too many. I bought it to help me through my exams and a few other things that make me anxious. I can honestly say that this kit is different. The downloadable audios are wonderful even for people who don’t have major problems with anxiety or panic . I love the Aussie accent."

"It’s great that you offer the self-hypnosis audio and the guided meditation as part of the kit."
