Hi chuckiecow. I appreciate your concerns. I'm like you, I've tried lots of different tapes, and most of the time, I got no results. I certainly haven't tried a lot of the companies mentioned, like centerpointe, but one company I can absolutely vouch for, is www.thinkrightnow. I've listened to their panic and anxiety tape for about two weeks, and it's absolutely made a difference. I have an auto-reverse player and listen to it through the night. The only thing I don't care for about the company, is the sound of the woman's voice on the recording. She seems to have a midwestern twang (no offense to midwesterners) which I find to be annoying. I wish they would invest in a professional voice over artist for their tapes.
