To help build public awareness about anxiety and the Midwest Center, I began doing interviews about my condition. Coming out of the closet was very difficult. I worried about what people would think of me.
But as I continued to talk about my problem not only did I gain more control, but I was amazed at the number of people I touched who were suffering with the same problem. Our groups at the Midwest Center in Toledo prospered and word of our success traveled, people began calling us from Cleveland to Los Angeles. They called searching for help for relatives and friends in cities all over the world. Could we help them?
Dr. Fisher suggested we put the program on audio cassette tape. He said these were skills people could learn on their own if given the proper direction.
In 1986 we conducted our first public seminar to sell the tapes in my home town in Findlay, Ohio. Imagine my amazement when over 200 people flooded the room. I received incredible feedback from the seminar attendees and many became home study participants. As time went on, people who had recovered asked if they could conduct seminars for us and since 1986 the Midwest Center continues to conduct over 250 free seminars annually in the US, Canada and the UK. In 1989 we began production of our infomercial as an extension of our seminar business. It took one and one half years to complete and went on the air in 1991. We have been nothing short of astonished and proud of the effect the ATTACKING ANXIETY program has had on people's lives.
I would say the vast majority still do not know or understand what they are suffering with. They may have gone to the doctor and complained about their symptoms, the doctor may have indicated that it was stress or anxiety and perhaps prescribed medication. It is highly unlikely that your doctor could have spent enough time with you to truly help you, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't know how.
Medication, unfortunately, treats the symptoms, it really does little to treat the actual cause. Treating the cause is where complete recovery lies.
