A very wise therapist I saw a few years ago suggested your depression management CD and I was amazed at the power of guided imagery.
I am sitting for the Bar exam this summer, and a facing it after several failed attempts. Through a great deal of introspection I learned that, in my past attempts, I never provided myself with the tools I needed to succeed.
I am planning to purchase a product to help with test anxiety, memory and learning but cannot determine which CD would be the best for me. Do you have any suggestions?
I know you are a very busy person and I appreciate your thoughtful consideration of my question. My dream and only real goal for getting my law degree is to be able to use my knowledge to help others.
If I succeed I will be able to become active in the Pro Bono program and achieve a piece of my dream. I firmly believe I need some help in training my subconscious so that I can pass this test.
Dear Belleruth,
I use several of your tapes. I have difficulty when reading to concentrate on what I'm reading. My mind continues to wonder and cannot remember what I have read. This has been going on for years. So, if I would ever have to take a test, I would panic. Is there a tape that you could recommend? At the moment I have been using your tape of self confidence.
Thanks,
Cathy
Dear Cathy,
The Self-Confidence imagery is a good choice, as would be the imagery for Panic Attacks,
which teaches basic self-regulation and relaxation skills, as well as
offers imagery that reframes panic to a physiologically similar but far
pleasanter condition: exhilaration, as the result of mastery (your
heart pounds either way).
Researchers from the University of Göttingen in Germany sought to validate claims from small, insufficiently controlled studies that neurofeedback (NF) reduces inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In a multi-site, randomized, controlled study using a computerized attention skills training protocol for the control condition, 102 children with ADHD, aged 8 to 12 years, were included in the study.
Children were randomized to the intervention - 36 sessions of NF
training - or the control condition – 36 sessions of computerized
attention skills training - within two blocks of about four weeks each.
A study from the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, California tests whether cognitive behavioral training helps learning disabled older students (high school and college) with test anxiety.
A randomized, controlled clinical trial out of the psychology department at the University of the Pacific, in Stockton, California, tested whether a cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for reducing test anxiety and improving academic self-esteem was effective for high school and college students with learning disabilities.
