I found this cassette and tape to be extremely relaxing. I have always been my own worst critic but by using Dr. Driscoll's tape, I was able to work through these supercritical feelings and it made it easier to deal with other people and their hostility. I definitely recommend it.

I have been surprised at the positive reception Mental Shielding has received from clients. Much of my practice involves employee assistance and many clients are not the typical consumers of "self-help" products. I have found that it helped people in all lines of work from the factory floor to law enforcement, to taking customer complaint calls. I recommend it highly. Albert Smith, Ph.D., CEAP

Dr. Driscoll's pairing of audio cd and book make the process of entering into meditation and shielding surprisingly easy even though its content is rich and deep. The cd is not too long, so it was easy to incorporate into my very busy day. Dr. Driscoll's voice calmly leads you step by step into meditation without ANY chance to fail (I think!). After listening to the audio cd I felt refreshed and relaxed, and I wondered to myself, "why I don't give myself this kind of time for healthy rejuvenation more often?". Building my shield the first time I listened to the cd was exciting (you'll see when you listen) and meaningful. During the first listen I had already started "shielding" my main stressors and looking at them in a new way that made me feel lighter. The very next day after going through the shielding exercise for the first time, I knew the time spent in meditation and building my shield had deeply affected even my subconscious mind. I had had a dream the night before where I found myself in a stressful/hurtful situation and immediately used my personal shield I had made! I felt personally effective, good and safe in my dream's stressful situation. I have listened to the audio cd more than once now, and my eyes are opening to enumerous possibilities and circumstances when I can and have used my shield. Shielding should be a practice that not only people who feel they are in need of relief learn and use, but that everyone should learn to do because of how it can help you stay focused, calm, and less stressed in unpleasant situations. I am very happy to have discovered this gem.

I was diagnosed with depression/anxiety disorder several years ago. I have tried meditation, yoga, exercise, hypnosis, therapy, alcohol, and much more, which has helped some, but not enough to keep me from screaming and running naked down the street! My present therapist recommended Doctor Driscoll's "Personal Shielding" book and training CD. I was skeptical at first, because I had tried so many other things in the past with so little benefit. After reading the book and listening to the CD, I am now able to control my anxiety and panic attacks, even if I am not in a place where I can not listen to the CD. You do the exercises and learn the principles. Then you can use them, no matter where you are, whether in a meeting at work, in the mall, or in a car full of screaming kids.
Thank you Dr Driscoll. You have changed my life.
