Has anyone tried the Self Confidence CD Trainer or

[Jim]

Hi, has anyone here tried and ordered the self condfidence CD trainer or Hypnosis downloads he suggests that might be of help? Have they helped you? Are they worth it? I've ordered Hypnosis tapes in the past and alot other self help tapes in the past and few have been helpful to overcome my shyness and quietness.
Has anyone here used something that really works good and is really effective? If you have, please tell me what has worked for you and if the CD's self confidence booster or trainer or hypnosis downloads are effective.

Thanks.

Jim

I've tried the Anthony Robbins CDs with limited success. The problem has been that the steps are too large. Robbins essentially tries to get yourself psyched up to make immediate and lasting change, and claims that his program works for anyone who actually follows it. He says that any fear can be overcome if you take appropriate action.

However, didn't work for me. I suspect his methods work better with specifc fears than with generalised anxiety. The times that I have been able to pinpoint a fear, for example "smiling at strangers," I have been able to overcome it. But to become non-shy all at once? No. In short, his methods/CDs have been very helpful, but not to the extent he suggests they will be.

Of course, I doubt you are talking about Tony Robbins, but I suspect few programs will work "just like that."
