Reviews from people who have taken the course

Hello Elaine,

I have to say I'm really enjoying the course. I have always been fascinated by psychology and the mind but for some reason I couldn't understand my own brain and how my body reacted to its thoughts.

I have had therapy before and while it definitely helped it didn't seem to really speak to me or really hit home.

My anxiety seems to have two causes. My negative thought patterns when I’m stressed causes me to get anxious but I also get anxious sometimes for no obvious reason, like sitting down watching tv on a Saturday night. I loved the science element of the course it has made a lot of sense to me.

Anxiety has never been explained to me like that before and I find it very helpful.

I'm the type of person that likes to get an understanding of why something is happening. I never thought that I could rewire my brain.

I am particularly loving the mindfulness and mediation. I have dabbled in mediation before but I never enjoyed it and I felt like it was chore to do. But I’m really enjoying it now. What really spoke to me was that I need to practice and learn to relax again. I’m 37 and have been anxious for a lot of that time and it will take effort to learn how to relax again.

I loved hearing that when I do practice and make mediation my daily routine my body will automatically become more relaxed. I have been doing the mediation everyday for 2 weeks and I have to say it has made quite a difference in how I feel. I feel more relaxed and happy.

I have a way to go but this is an excellent start. I'm enjoying it so much I’m looking into other mediation/mindfulness courses I can do after this one.

Thank you for setting up this course I think it's a revelation and I love the animations and I appreciate visual aids when I’m learning something.

This is maybe a crazy statement but I now realise it's OK to relax!

I listened to the "sleep" MP3 last night in bed, and I woke up this morning feeling refreshed for the first time in ages, as if I'd had a proper nights sleep. For the first time in years, there wasn't one single thought in my head, which was amazing!!! Normally my head is flooded with work worries.

I can't thank you enough. Keep up the good work for all us anxious worriers!!
