Frequently Asked Questions
About
PowerCount8:
These questions address what
PowerCount8 is, where it came from,
and what it can do for you.
So then, what
exactly is
PowerCount8,
and where did it come from?
PowerCount8 is a very simple treatment method that has
been shown to be highly effective for dramatically reducing the
anxiety, stress, fears and addictive natures of various
psychological issues, by interrupting the thought process over and
over, so that the neuro-connections on which the thoughts travel,
get weaker and weaker, until they are permanently broken.
The process of using Power-Count involves simple counting
backward from 8.
The backward counting is the key
ingredient in
PowerCount8
that is
necessary for completely neutralizing your anxiety.
Has this type of treatment been approved by the American
Psychological Association as a legitimate 'evidence-based' treatment
methodology?
Yes. The American Psychological Association journal Review of
General Psychology has approved the simple backward counting methodology I use in all
of my
PowerCount8
courses.
The current status of
Power-Count
as an "evidence-based"
practice is summarized in this
statement by the American Psychological Association:
"A literature search identified 50
peer-reviewed papers that report or investigate clinical outcomes
following the counting backward to address psychological
issues. The 17 randomized controlled trials in this sample were
critically evaluated for design quality, leading to the conclusion
that they consistently demonstrated strong effect sizes and other
statistical results that far exceed chance after relatively few
treatment sessions. Criteria for evidence-based treatments proposed
by Division 12 of the American Psychological Association were also
applied and found to be met for a number of conditions, including
PTSD."
But I don't understand how clearing these electrical signal shocks
in my body can have
any effect on my stress and anxieties?
Every negative
thought to which you have an emotional connection creates an
electrical signal shock
in your nervous system.
PLUS, if that
isn't bad enough...every time we think about that negative thought,
those electrical shocks multiply. Thus, severely compounding our
anxiety by causing many additional negative emotions and feelings to
surface. Needless to say, it can get pretty jammed up in our
energetic pathways. By counting backward from 8,
you weaken and dissolve the energetic signal shocks that are causing
your negative feelings and fears. Once these shocks are cleared out,
you will no longer feel strong emotions from those issues. You will
still be able to remember everything as you have always, but you
will no longer FEEL the emotional anxiety when thinking about them.
The anxious thoughts will simply have
little, or no effect on you.
How does
my nervous system affect whether I feel good or not?
What happens
when you think of a happy, positive thought? You feel happy all
over, and you may even feel like smiling or laughing, don't you? Of
course, the reverse is also true that when you have painful,
negative thoughts, you feel down, and certainly not so happy. Well,
all of your thoughts and memories, whether positive or negative, are
stored in your brain. But all of your feelings that you feel from
those thoughts, whether positive or negative, are stored throughout
your nervous system.
Do our negative emotions really affect our physical health?
Yes, most definitely!
There are numerous research data proving our stressful negative emotions
do, indeed, have a profoundly negative effect on our physical
health.
For example,
have you ever felt a tension headache that was triggered by stress
or high pressure?
Or, have you ever had your mouth feel very dry, and your palms get
sweaty when you are feeling nervous or afraid?
Or, have you ever noticed a wonderfully strange feeling all over
when falling in love?
These are both excellent examples of how our emotions can affect our
physiology.
What does counting backward from 8 actually do, anyway?
It is this
counting backward from 8, while
focusing your full attention on the FEELINGS you get from your
anxiety issues, that gradually desensitizes, and dissolves the
emotional charge you commonly feel from those fearful issues. This
very simple act of counting backward from 8, while you are focusing your full attention on your
problematic issue, quickly weakens that intense negative emotional
CHARGE you feel from your anxieties.
Does this
PowerCount8 Course
utilize a different recovery process than
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Yes,
absolutely!
Over the years
I have heard several chronic anxiety, and OCD sufferers refer to
traditional CBT as...
"Cruel & Barbaric Torture"
The main
difference with
PowerCount8
is, you are never forced to feel the intense
anxiety without having an effective means of clearing away that
anxiety very quickly. Within minutes, the
PowerCount8
effectively dissolves that intense charge we tend
to feel from our anxieties.
If a therapist was treating you, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
they would have you start out by applying the CBT treatment on your
weakest fearful obsessions first. Then, over the course of the next
several weeks, or even months, they would have you build up to your
strongest, most intense fears.
However, with
PowerCount8,
that is not necessary, due to the fact that we have the calming
effects of the
PowerCount8, you can now work on ANY ISSUE you'd like from the
very beginning!
This makes the
PowerCount8
method
faster...and far less stressful.
Why has
PowerCount8
become so popular among anxiety sufferers?
This
PowerCount8 course is so effective for ending our anxious
thoughts the minute they pop up, because...when you use the
procedure, you are able to quickly neutralize the anxiety you're
feeling from your negative thoughts.
Therefore, if someone is having a very stressful day, they can
simply clear out the emotional intensity that is causing their
anguish.
Why is the
PowerCount8
system so
much more effective than anything else for treating anxiety?
In a
word:
"Simplicity"
The
PowerCount8 system is simpler to learn, easier to remember and
use than most other treatment methods available. Plus, the
PowerCount8 treatment process is far less stressful and less
painful than conventional treatments.
Actually, a second word could also be used to help encompass the
efficacy of the
PowerCount8
system:
"Repetition"
PowerCount8 utilizes an extremely effective, simplified
protocol of counting backward from 8 (87654321),
while focusing your attention on your distressing anxiety issues.
PowerCount8
then has you repeating that same process over and over and over --
until your stress is gone.
It is this
simple process of continuous repetition that will help you see real
results materialize, very quickly!
Is the
PowerCount8
procedure difficult to learn?
Not at all...
There are only a few short and simple steps involved. I have
designed the
PowerCount8
procedure to be as simple as possible...so that virtually ANYBODY
can quickly learn, remember, and use it on a daily basis to get
precisely the results they are actively seeking on their
own...whenever, and wherever they need help!
PowerCount8
is so simple -- even children are using it
successfully, everyday -- with ease!
How do I know what I should be concentrating on while I am doing the
backward counting?
Think about how
anxious and nervous a particular anxiety issue makes you FEEL.
If your issue makes you feel worried, focus your attention on what's
making you FEEL worried.
If you're afraid of being embarrassed, then concentrate on whatever
is making you FEEL that way.
If you are feeling angry about something, then focus your attention
on how that is making you FEEL.
If you're afraid that you won't feel safe while out in public, then
focus your attention on your FEELINGS of being unsafe.
Have you noticed that I often capitalize
the word FEEL?
That's because
your feelings
are so
important for achieving success with the
PowerCount8 procedures.
Please also see
the next question.
What is THE most important thing needed for eliminating anxiety
using this
PowerCount8
course?
FEELING
You MUST be willing to allow yourself to
FEEL the intensity of the emotional distress from your issues.
To
help illustrate how this works, I would like you to think back to a
time in your life when you felt VERY frightened. When you were so
scared that you felt you could barely move. If you cannot think of
any such frightening events, think about something that scares you
immensely...whether it is one of your fears, phobias, or anxious
thoughts. Or, just imagine how you would respond if somebody
suddenly threw a live rattlesnake in your lap...that would cause you
to have an IMMEDIATE reaction, wouldn't it?
I need you to intensely FOCUS your attention on how that fear
actually FEELS to you. THIS is precisely the best way for you to
feel while you're using this
PowerCount8
course.
What usually
happens to my anxiety while I am working through the
PowerCount8
procedure?
The
PowerCount8 has the power to dramatically reduce the emotional
"STING" you're feeling from your anxiety issues, and fears!
The back-counting actually calms your nerves to
the point where you will no longer feel stressed.
What may surprise you, is that the
PowerCount8
can, and often does, make you completely
FORGET about what it was you were working for in the first place. By
that, I mean the back-counting will often calm your nerves so much
that the anxiety you were feeling prior, will frequently vanish,
completely.
Now, this may sound like a blessing to many sufferers, but sometimes
this will present a different kind of challenge, because some users
will get the impression that they no longer need to do any more work for any other issues.
But, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you
clear out ALL of your issues.
So then, why
hasn't anything I've ever done before this, worked for controlling my
anxieties?
Probably the
biggest reason why traditional psychotherapies don't work for
controlling your anxieties is this:
They don't
act to neutralize the INTENSITY of the anxiety caused by your
emotional trash!
The simple fact
is...if you don't SPECIFICALLY target your
underlying emotions that are causing the pain of your
anxieties... then how can you expect to be completely and permanently
free of your anxieties?
This
PowerCount8
course directly targets and neutralizes the anxiety from
your negative thoughts, doubts, fears, etc.
How is this
course different from the other anxiety treatment
programs and books on the market?
ThisPowerCount8 course targets the emotional distress caused by your
ANXIOUS THOUGHTS.
You see, it is
your underlying anxious thoughts that are causing the distress you
feel whenever you have a negative thought, worry, or fear. And it is
this emotional distress that creates the desire to tranquilize your
anxiety.
I suffer from several variations of anxiety. Will the
PowerCount8
course work for me?
You are definitely NOT alone!
Many previous
PowerCount8 course users had
been suffering with dozens of different anxiety issues. And, today,
they have greatly reduced their anxious thoughts, fears, worries.
Whether the
PowerCount8
course will help you
or not depends entirely on how willing you are to allow the
PowerCount8
techniques to make the everlasting changes in your life. Therefore,
your success with this program depends entirely on how badly you
want to eliminate anxiety from your life, forever!
The
PowerCount8 procedure only works if you let it work!
You just need
to STICK WITH IT! |
Why do you so strongly advise against
having any alcohol or drugs while using this course?
The intensity of your anxiety MUST NOT be tranquilized in any way!
You see, in
order for thePowerCount8 to work for reducing your anxiety, it is absolutely
necessary for you to allow yourself to FEEL your anxieties as
strongly as possible. It is only when you are feeling your anxiety,
that this course will help to alleviate that
anxiousness.
However, if you are suppressing (tranquilizing) your anxiety with
alcohol or drugs, then the Power-Count will not be as effective as
it could be.
Also, see next
question...
Why is
it better to do the
PowerCount8 course
exercises without taking my anxiety medications?
It is
best to use
PowerCount8
exercises when you are able to FEEL the MOST distress
from your anxiety issues.
The
PowerCount8
works to
gradually wear down and weaken the
intensity you feel from your anxieties. However, if you are
medicated, then you will not be able to FEEL the anxiety as
strongly. Delaying the use of your anxiety medication even for a
while (but
ONLY if it's safe for you to do so), might help you
eliminate your anxieties much more quickly using the techniques. You should also avoid using any pain
relievers, and/or alcohol prior to, and during the use of the
PowerCount8!
Why do I have to work on so many similar
aspects of the same negative issues?
In case you're
wondering why you are working through several similar aspects of the
same issue, clearing out a negative emotion is very much like trying
to dig a large rock out of the ground. If you were to dig at the
rock from only one direction, it would likely take you a very long
time to dig it out. However, when you dig away the dirt all around
the rock from every direction, the rock will come out much easier.
That is why it is often necessary to target each anxiety issue from
multiple directions -- by releasing the tight grip the anxiety issue
has on your subconscious mind.
Why am I supposed to focus on the negative
issue I'm trying to eliminate?
Shouldn't I be focusing my attention on strictly positive thoughts
instead?
Whenever you
remove a negative issue, be it a negative thought, fear, emotion,
anxiety or whatever, you MUST replace it with a POSITIVE
affirmation. And that is precisely why the
course example phrases are worded the way they are.
You first need to clear out a negative
issue, and then immediately introduce a new positive affirmation in
its place.
And, the process of repeating the positive affirmation over and
over, following the removal of the negative issue in question,
effectively serves to cement the new positive concept into its
permanent position within your subconscious mind...FOREVER.
This process also permanently links this
positive affirmation to that negative issue, if you should ever
again think of that negative issue in the future!
So, why is mind-balancing necessary for a healthy life?
What happens to you when you lose your balance? You usually fall
down, right? It's a simple law of physics.
Maintaining proper balance while standing, walking, climbing, or
whatever, is very important. While it's true that we'll fall down
when our body is out of balance, it is also just as accurate that
when our mind is out of balance, we tend to experience many
troubling psychological and emotional issues.
Our long-term unresolved negative emotions can also eventually lead
to serious illnesses and diseases.
The
PowerCount8
dissolves this emotional link between your mind and the unresolved
negative emotions. Thus, allowing you to clear out the negative
emotional intensity from your anxieties.
Balance is everything. And, everything is
balance.
This entire
PowerCount8
course is based upon one very simple and defining
purpose:
To
rapidly clear away the stressful emotional charge you feel from your
emotional trash that's coming from your subconscious mind.
What causes my stress & anxiety?
While nobody
really knows precisely what causes anxiety, we do understand what
electrical reactions occur within the brains of fear and panic
sufferers. Typically, severe anxiety sufferers tend to experience a
much higher than normal level of electrical activity taking place in
the circuits that connect the frontal cortex, the striatum, and the
thalamus areas of the brain.
This
PowerCount8 course can quickly help you to correct this imbalance
of electrical activity within the brain, so that you will no longer
feel distress from your anxieties. Then your anxieties will no
longer have an effect on you!
Where do my fears come from?
Some
psychotherapists claim that our fears often come from being worried
that we will not know what to do, or how to handle various types of
unknown situations that MAY arise. This 'unknowing' can then cause
our fears.
Does it matter how long I've had these anxieties and other issues?
No. It doesn't
make any difference, whatsoever, how long you have been dealing with
your anxious thoughts.
The only thing that matters now, is that you are willing to do what
is necessary, using this
PowerCount8
course, to rid yourself of your anxiety, forever!
Why hasn't anything I've ever done in the past worked for
controlling my anxieties?
Probably the biggest reason for why traditional psychotherapies
don't work for controlling your anxieties is this:
They don't
act to neutralize the DISTRESS of the anxiety caused by your
negative emotions!
The simple fact
is...if you don't SPECIFICALLY target your underlying emotions that
are causing the pain of your anxieties...then how can you expect to
be completely and permanently free of your anxieties?
This course directly targets and neutralizes the
anxiety from your negative thoughts, doubts, fears, etc.
Are the results I'll receive from using the
courses really permanent?
Yes,
in most cases, the anxiety reduction results you will receive from
this course typically
tend to be permanent. The fact is, once you detach the emotional
connection you have to a negative issue, the resulting release does
tend to be permanent!
However...
If, at anytime in the future, it appears that an issue is
"resurfacing," it is likely due to a DIFFERENT ASPECT of an issue is
just now popping up that you hadn't cleared out before. If this
occurs, simply use the
PowerCount8
procedure to clear away the anxiety from that issue.
How long will it take to learn to use, and get positive results
with this course?
This depends on three important questions:
1)
How open you are to using this course as outlined?
2)
How much time you devote to using this course?
3)
How willing you are to allow your anxieties and fears to surface, so
that this course can work to
eliminate them forever?
It should only
take most people a day or two to become proficient at using this
course.
I want all
of my course users to gain
the most benefits from this course as quickly as possible.
Therefore, the instruction and practice exercise sections have been
purposely kept very short and simple for you.
Most course
users
notice a profound reduction in their anxieties within a week or two.
However, many users notice some results even after the
first day of using this course.
I have heard from several
course users who do the back-counting as
often as possible throughout the day, and then again just before
bedtime!
Be patient, change takes time...this is a process, not an event!
Fortunately, I have designed the courses to make your
lifelong changes happen as quickly and painlessly as possible!
By using the powerful
tools included in the
PowerCount8
system on a daily basis, we can literally eliminate the trauma from
these distressing issues that are causing your negative feelings and
fears.
Of course, like anything else you do in life, it all depends on how
much effort YOU are willing to put into using this course.
The
PowerCount8
process
WORKS...just stick with it!
Does it make any difference where I use the
PowerCount8 Course?
When
starting this
PowerCount8 course, it is best if you can be
someplace where you won't be disturbed or distracted.
That means,
please turn OFF your cell phone!
That way you
can focus your FULL ATTENTION on your anxious thoughts, doubts, and
fears.
It's only when you are fully focused on your negative issues, that
you will be able to remove the anxieties from your life!
So, why has this
PowerCount8
type of treatment method never been used on any
reality television programs?
Mostly because
the psychological community is notoriously SLOW at accepting new
alternative healing techniques, regardless of how effective they may
have already been shown to be for most people.
Also, because
PowerCount8 tends to work so quickly at eliminating the
anxiety that causes phobias, panic, addictions, etc. that it
probably wouldn't make for a very profitable TV show. By that, I
mean, using standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a typical course
of treatment can take many weeks, or months to produce even minimal (if any)
results.
Whereas, by using
PowerCount8, complete and permanent results are typically
experienced by the user in just a few days (or less)! I have even
had several clients of mine resolving some of their intense anxiety
and phobia issues in just ONE
PowerCount8
session.
What can I expect to gain from this course?
This
course will quickly
help you dissolve the emotional links you feel to your anxious
thoughts and fears! You will see a noticeable reduction in the
anxiety caused by your negative issues. By completing each exercise
in the
course, you will be
reducing more and more of your anxiety each day.
How are such consistently impressive results accomplished?
These results are accomplished by permanently dissolving the
emotional links you feel to your negative thoughts by simply
counting backward from 8, on a daily basis. Only after the emotional link
is dissolved, will your anxious thought or fear no longer have any
control on your life.
This
back-counting
stuff looks pretty silly to me. What if I don't want to do it, because
I'd feel rather embarrassed doing it, or if I don't believe that it
would work for me?
Then simply don't use it!
Nobody is pointing a gun at your head, and forcing you to get
rid of your anxious thoughts and fears! You will simply continue to
suffer with your fearful anxiety issues just as you do now. And,
that's entirely your own personal prerogative!
You can either take a few moments to do the Power-Count exercises
as I've laid them out for you, and quite likely eliminate your
anxieties forever. Or, you can simply ignore this course, and
continue to "enjoy" dealing with your never-ending frustrating and
stressful anxiety issues for the rest of your life!
The
CHOICE IS YOURS!
But
what does it really hurt to TRY IT OUT?
Hey,
maybe you will be pleasantly surprised with your results!
Doing the
PowerCount8is NOT difficult, folks. Simply find a private
space or room where you will not be disturbed.
Then you can use this course in complete
privacy. You can even do the backward counting SILENTLY if you
want to.
How can such a short
and simple program be so effective at eliminating my anxieties?
The PowerCount8 courses GET
FAST RESULTS, when other self-help programs on the market simply
fall flat!
Over the years, I have seen numerous self-help programs come along,
many of which include dozens of CDs, DVDs, books,
workbooks, personal journals, newsletters, one-on-one coaching, and
even free tickets to upcoming seminars and conventions. Those
so-called "gurus" are always looking for new ways to keep adding
MORE and MORE stuff in order to "fluff up their programs," so it
APPEARS as though you are getting a lot more for your money!
An interesting fact about most of those other programs out there
that offer such an enormous amount of materials, is that
VERY FEW buyers actually use everything in
those programs. It just becomes TOO OVERWHELMING, and TOO
CONFUSING for them to study and use it all! People tend to
experience a phenomenon known as "Analysis--Paralysis."
This is where you have so much information available to you that you
essentially become overwhelmed by it all, and you even become
stuck...without knowing what you should do next.
I
have taken a completely opposite approach with all of my courses.
I believe in adhering to the K.I.S.S. concept...
K.I.S.S. stands
for
Keep
It
Short
& Simple!
My philosophy during the
creation of this course has been:
"If it does not
absolutely NEED to be in there, then just leave it out!"
That is why I have purposely simplified and streamlined my courses down to the
bare minimum.
I've included only what is absolutely NECESSARY for you to eliminate
your anxiety, and make the most dramatic improvements in your life!
The courses are so
short and simple that most people can actually FEEL results in just
a few minutes.
Will I ever have to be directly exposed to
my distressing anxieties and fears?
PowerCount8
only requires you to become directly exposed to your obsessive
anxieties AFTER you have already sufficiently weakened your
distressful anxieties to the point where your anxious issues are no
longer strong enough to cause you distress. Therefore, your anxious
thoughts will no longer exist anywhere in your life.
Is
PowerCount8 safe and
effective for children?
Yes, absolutely!
Children tend to get even better results with the courses than many
adults. This is mainly due to the fact that children have not yet
been "preconditioned" to automatically question, or resist new
things as much as adults have been.
What frequently happens after some adults use this
course is that...even after receiving
excellent results, they refuse to accept that it was, in fact, the
'counting backward' that made the profound differences in their lives. Many
people will claim that their amazing results were caused by anything
other than the counting! This phenomenon is
known as
The Apex Effect.
Who should use the
PowerCount8 program?
This powerful
course should be used by anyone who
may be suffering with any types of stressful anxiety, panic issues,
trauma, worries, self doubts, fears and phobias, addictions, as well
as many other anxiety-caused life-affecting issues.
What should I do if I get another negative thought sometime in the
future?
That's easy....simply use
PowerCount8
to clear out any anxiety-causing thoughts or fears that may pop up
in the future.
Won't I clear away ALL of my emotions, BOTH positive and negative, by
doing this?
No, you
don't need to worry about that. You won't lose your positive
emotions, and happy thoughts. You won't become an emotionless zombie
from doing the Power-Count. In fact, after completing the course, you
will likely feel a new-found sense of well-being for the rest of
your life.
Plus, if you're
ever feeling stressed at anytime in the future, you will be able to
simply use this Power-Count technique to clear away that stress
completely...usually in just a few minutes.
I am repeating
this question from earlier, because it is so important...
How do I know what I should focus my
attention on while I am doing this?
Think about how
your anxiety issues make you FEEL If your issue makes you feel
worried, focus your attention on what's making you FEEL worried. If
you're feeling nervous about competing today, then focus your
attention on what's making you FEEL so nervous. If you're feeling
afraid to let your guard down, focus your attention on whatever is
making you FEEL that way. If you FEEL like you won't be safe when
you leave home, then focus your attention on what's making you FEEL
unsafe.
Have you noticed that I often
capitalize the word FEEL? That's because your willingness to allow
yourself to FEEL your stress and anxiety is extremely important for
achieving success with the PowerCount8 procedures. |
