I`ve finally picked up enough courage to start doing the "Overcome the fear of claustrophobia" program, that I`ve downloaded. I`ve been scared of small closed places and especially elevators since childhood on, and just looking into an elevator has made me feel sick with fear. So dealing with it has seemed pretty hopeless as well. But after 2006 when I refused going in the elevator when I was taken to hospital with a heart attack, I knew that I finally had to do something about the problem.

So I was overjoyed when I found the download, since I already believe in Paul McKenna`s methodes of positive thinking, and did it for the first time yesterday. The introductory part I found very emotional, and very surprisingly it made me cry listening to parts of it, but since english is not my first language, I`m still very uncertain if I did every thing right and the way it`s supposed to be done?

The Mind Programming part was amazing though, wow what a boost of positivity and confidence!
Afterwards I felt like I`was wrapped in a thick layer of cotton wool that could protect me from everything scarey, and I felt like going out and find a lift just to have a look at it to see if I was still scared. I looked up everything about elevators and dungeons on Youtube, but could not find anything scary about anything at all!
Today I feel happy and relaxed, but still feel like doing the Mind Programming for some days and get some friends with me, before I`m trying to go on an elevator. Not sure what`s the right thing to do, that`s the down side of this, that there is not really someone you can ask about things like that.

I`ve only done the introduction once, but The Mind Programming twice yesterday and once today. It felt like I relaxed even deeper today, but the effect felt stronger yesterday, and I do find that my mind seemes to wander off sometimes, but I guess it won`t really matter.

I`m also wondering when it says to do the program every day for two weeks, if I shall do the introduction as well? Does anyone know?
