How Does EasyCalm Compare to Other Panic and Anxiety Programs?
May 3rd, 2012
“Dear Jon, How does EasyCalm compare to other panic attack and anxiety programs out there?”
I get lots of e-mails about the EasyCalm series, and many of them (like the above) ask how it compares to other panic attack and anxiety programs. Often, people want to know what I feel is the unique advantage of using a series like EasyCalm. What makes it different.
As the creator of the series, my opinion is bound to be a be a bit biased. =) However, I can tell you three big advantages that the EasyCalm series has over other anxiety programs.
1. A Focus on Control Issues
To the best of my knowledge, EasyCalm is the only anxiety program to focus on the control issues that are usually at the root of anxiety and panic attack problems. This is a bigger deal than you might think, because it is practically impossible to fully deal with and overcome anxiety, unless you address the underlying control issues. Otherwise, it’s like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound–you’re ignoring the deeper underlying problem. Control issues are one of the “Big Three” causes of anxiety. You can’t afford to just ignore them; and yet, many other anxiety programs seem to do just that.
2. Deals with Underlying Causes, Not Symptoms
EasyCalm addresses the root causes of the anxiety, rather than trying to deal with specific symptoms the user may have. This is an important philosophical difference, because treating anxiety symptoms is a bit like playing whack-a-mole. You get rid of one, only to find 2 more have popped up to take its place. It’s a never ending battle until you finally deal with the root causes, the underlying issues that are responsible for the anxiety symptoms in the first place.
3. Personal Experience
Unlike some other anxiety and panic attack programs, EasyCalm doesn’t delve deeply into the theoretical. It is above all a practical series, based almost entirely on my personal experiences dealing with anxiety, and the experience gained coaching many other anxiety sufferers. When I speak of strategies and techniques to deal with panic and anxiety, you can be sure I’m speaking from personal experience. What works, and what doesn’t. I also won’t ask you to do a technique before you’re ready. I’m very familiar with the process of overcoming anxiety, and the perils of moving too fast (which can be worse than taking no action at all).
There are many other differences, of course. But those are three of the most defining characteristic of the EasyCalm series – the points that really set it apart from other anxiety programs, and make it, in my humble opinion, the most effective anxiety and panic attack program available.
Take care!
Jon
