Trouble-Shooting Section
I have purposely added this special section to help you if you're having any difficulties with
getting the
backward counting to work for reducing your stress, anxieties, fears and other issues.
Below, you will see several common problems that some
course users may experience in the beginning.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
I have been doing the counting as outlined, but I am just not feeling the results yet.
What am I doing wrong?
There are a few possible answers for why you are not yet gaining the results you're expecting.
1) You may be expecting too much to happen...all at once. You'll need to be patient.
And, remember that gaining the results you seek with this course is a PROCESS...NOT an EVENT!!
After a several days of consistent backward counting, you will likely feel a difference in the amount anxiety you're feeling.
THE COUNTING WORKS!! Just keep doing it, and you will see results.
2) You may have some hidden core issues going on that you are not yet aware of. By core issues, I mean that some negative events may have happened to you earlier in your life that are still getting in the way of your achieving results.
Exercise One was created specifically to help you identify any such negative events, and then clear out the anxiety and pain that you may still be feeling from those events.
If you feel that this may be the case, then count along while repeating the following phrase several times in succession:
"Even though I still have this (state your problem here), 87654321
I CHOOSE to completely accept myself, anyway!"
Remember to take a deep breath, and exhale slowly after you complete each round.
Keep repeating this process over, and over...until you can no longer FEEL any stress from that situation.
Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly after each complete round.
3) A third reason for not gaining immediate results is that you may be feeling a strong reluctance toward letting go of your anxieties. In psychology, there exists a psychological phenomenon known as "Secondary Benefit Syndrome." This is where you will actually RESIST letting go of your obsessive anxiety-provoking issues, for fear of not knowing how you would live without them. Secondary Benefit Syndrome can easily sabotage all of your best efforts to rid yourself of anxieties and fears.
Here are a few good questions that are often used to help you discover any hidden secondary benefits.
Please make a list of all of your answers to these questions...
What's the downside of my letting go of these anxiety issues?
What's the upside of keeping these anxiety issues?
What benefits would I lose if I were to let go of these anxiety issues?
It is possible that you are not yet ready to allow the obsessive thoughts and fears to surface. Keep back-counting as often as you can on this issue, and you will feel a noticeable reduction in your anxiety levels.
Count backward from 8, while repeating the following phrases:
Even though I feel afraid to allow my anxiety-provoking thoughts and fears to surface,
87654321
I CHOOSE to feel calm and confident, and I let go of all of my fear now!
Even though I can't let down my guard right now,
87654321
I CHOOSE to relax and allow this backward counting to release this anxiety.
Even though I feel like a part of me isn't ready to release my control at this time,
87654321
I CHOOSE to be open to allowing good things into my life!
Even though I am afraid that I won't feel safe if I lose my anxiety issues,
87654321
I CHOOSE to feel safe and free of the limiting chains of imprisonment that anxiety forces
on me.
Even though I feel that asking for help is like admitting that I am not in control,
87654321
I CHOOSE to give permission to this backward counting to help me to get rid of my anxieties forever.
Even though I am so deeply terrified of letting my obsessive thoughts surface,
even for a few minutes each day, while I use this program,
87654321
I CHOOSE to be strong and let the
backward counting do its magic to help me through this.
Even though I feel so helpless, because this fear has so much a control over me,
87654321
I CHOOSE to release my control, and I will use this
course to help me for the rest of my life.
Even though I feel skeptical about this backward counting working for me,
87654321
I CHOOSE to give the counting a solid chance to remove my anxious obsessions from my life.
Keep repeating this process over, and over...until you can no longer FEEL any stress from each situation.
Remember to take a deep breath, and exhale slowly after you complete each round.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
Is it possible that I just don't truly BELIEVE this back-counting stuff can really help me?
Yes, many course users start out feeling very skeptical. But then, after they keep counting for a few weeks, they notice some profound changes taking place. After using this course for a while, it is quite common for users to completely FORGET they ever had any of the issues they're working on!
If you're feeling skeptical about this backward-counting working for you, then back-count along while repeating the following phrases:
Even though I have all these doubts about this silly counting stuff actually working for me,
87654321
I CHOOSE to be open to the possibility that it might work for me.
Even though I feel very skeptical about this counting being able to reduce my anxiety,
87654321
I CHOOSE to relax, and give it a real try for a few weeks.
Even though I am worried that this counting might not work for MY intense anxiety issues,
87654321
I CHOOSE to feel calm and confident while I continue counting through all of the exercises!
Keep repeating this process over, and over...until you can no longer FEEL any stress from each situation.
Remember to take a deep breath, and exhale slowly after you complete each round.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
What exactly am I supposed to be focusing my attention on while I am back-counting?
You NEED to focus your attention directly on the anxiety you feel from your anxious thoughts, fears, worries,
or whatever is causing your anxious issues. That means, you MUST be willing to allow those feelings of anxiety to surface before you back-count! That is the ONLY way you can dramatically reduce the amount of anxiety you're feeling.
Back-count along with this phrase several times, until you are able to focus on feeling your fears:
Even though I'm having trouble focusing on my fears, 87654321
I CHOOSE to completely accept myself, anyway!
Keep repeating this process over, and over...until you can no longer FEEL any stress from each situation.
Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly after each complete round.
The bottom line of all of this is:
THE BACKWARD COUNTING WORKS!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
What if I am just too afraid of allowing my obsessive thoughts and fears to surface long enough to complete the exercises?
Count backward from 8, while repeating the following phrases over, and over, and over until you no longer feel this fear...
Even though I am so terrified of letting my obsessive thoughts surface,
87654321
I CHOOSE to feel calm and confident, and I let go of my anxieties!
Even though I am struggling to release this anxiety,
87654321
I CHOOSE to give myself complete permission to let go of this anxiety!
Keep repeating this process over, and over...until you can no longer FEEL any stress from each situation.
Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly after each complete round.
Once you have completed the exercises on this page, you are free to go back to the course to work on eliminating your anxiety issues with a greater sense of freedom. |
