Some good debates in this series of tapes:

Opinions on Dr. Richards' CBT Tapes? - SAUK Discussion Board
He's a "Dr." right? I really don't think he needs income from desperate people with anxiety to "live on something". I work a minimum wage job, and I am doing quite well "living". I think he just wants the extra cash that he can possibly make from people who are willing to do anything to feel better.
You think that's cheap? My book which has pretty much all the CBT therapies/excercices that psychologists use was 21.99. Anyway, you sound more like his secretary than someone who has SA... but that's just my opinion. I won't argue with you however... so I'll just let it be
But your book didn't work - you still seem to be living in a hostile world. Besides, books don't work even if they contain all the right information - the SA came about through systematic imprinting on the brain and can only be overcome by new systematic imprinting. Books are read and put away too quickly. I'm not a secretary, I'm an accountant - maybe that explains the way I write!
