Anyone tried the Audio therapy by Thomas A. Richards?

[-Jp]

I read a lot of good things from it from people that had tremendous benefit from it, that's the only thing they show though, did anyone here tried it?
i'm thinking of buying it, his explenation of social anxiety sounds like he knows about the subject very well, he also suffered from it once

here is what i'm talking about

and here the main site

I bought the Dr. Richards tapes in 2001, and have used them on and off since then. They help a great deal. I'm planning on restarting them again today. But without the self-help group therapy I kinda give up on them. If there's anyone who wants to start an on-line group please e-mail me.

Isn't this site a kind of self help group? I really don't know as I've never been to one although I do like the sound of them. Hope it all goes well for you!

Ok, I created a new chat room for our on-line support group. Use mIRC (shareware/free), connect to EFNET, /join #social-anxiety. To obtain my list of mp3's, type in @ZeppHed, then using WinZip (shareware/free), unzip the .txt file. Copy and paste the mp3 u want to download (I use MS-DOS window with QuickEdit Mode On). The MS-DOS command I use is something like: FIND /I "richards" zepphe~1.txt|more

Let's get together and solve this problem.

I've got the tape series and have been using it for a couple of months now. Highest possible recommendation.

I agree - the tapes are excellent. However, you have to follow the instructions and work through them at the correct pace (one tape a week) and also do the exercises.
It also helps to have access to a self-help type of group - either with other people doing the tape course, or another group of social anxiety sufferers where you can practice things like conversations, talking, eye contact etc.
