I've probably listened to this over 200 times.. I play it every night to put myself to sleep. This guy's voice is soothing af

[CalvinHikes]

I don't need guided imagery, I just need this man to talk to me every night before I go to bed. The ultimate tuck in.

[thought]

his way of talking is the ultimate way to calm down, if everyone talked like him maybe wed be a stress free society

[barfosters]

His process really works. I excerpted a 20 min segment, converted it to MP3 format, loaded it on my mp3 player in repeat mode, and sleep improved.

Dealing with.a breast cancer.scare. Seemingly out of nowhere this SENSIBLE, RATIONAL VOICE just THANK YOU!

[GladBeTo]

I can’t thank the lecturer, Dr Rossman, the channel and the broadcasting staff for such valuable lectures that summarize hundreds and thousands of hard work and knowledge. Thank you all and I highly recommend these very valuable lectures to everyone interested or cares for a patient suffering of mental illness or looking to learn these sciences for the sake of knowledge

[JanetSmith]

I have worried myself sick. I read one of his books years ago and it was really good and so were his meditations. I have been studying some other work, but this lecture is validating everything. So it’s come full circle. God bless the people who have dedicated their lives to studying this, and helping people with it.

[TheKrish]

I feel so much more informed after seeing this. And like I have been given a toolkit. Dr Rossman truly has an efective way making you feel personally addressed while giving a general talk

[eleanoravinor]

I am a psychotherapist and love your lectures. so helpful and useful. thanks.

[zeemartinez]

[GreenLight]

I'm in the process of discovering how to deal with my chronic pain syndrome and this lecture is pure gold. As an ACES survivor, I've reached the level of acceptance of the causes of it; now my task is to be able to eliminate/change how I perceive and process stress. I have lived my entire life, all 73 years of it, in a state of constant stress. When I didn't have enough of it, I'd manufacture it--I am clearly an addict but I do see a path out. I know this isn't an easy task but if I want to rid myself of this horrible constant pain, I must be willing to do the work. And, at 73, if not now when...

[mikebrenesell]

This is a must listen for anyone experiencing stress and or anxiety. Very effective and therapeutic. Will listen to this lecture time and time again.

[listsign]

I've probably listened to it 1000 times. This guy's voice is so soothing.

My personal Stress Relief Mechanism is the use of nature such as the following:
Watching Clouds as they Drift aimlessly, and The Changing shapes in the process! - Watching the water waves as they Wash the Shores! - Watch and listen as the wind flutters the leaves in the trees! - Listen as the Raindrops play their un rhythmic pattern on the roof, umbrella, tent etc., and while enjoying these pursuits stretch out, and envision, all stress in your body, draining from your head through your neck, shoulders arms legs fingers and toes out to the surrounding area any item used in daily life creates a rhythm and our bodies pick up and emulate that rhythm, and this method of stress relief, changes our body rhythm muchlike an automobile transmission, we slow things down! IN MY OPINION!

[annjuurinen]

I have posted this on Facebook on Twitter and on Pinterest. So very helpful. I have experienced some of what he talks about. Thank you Dr. Rossman for helping us all. Blessings.

[lizmaslin]

BINGO!!! This lecture has given me a better understanding of my nemesis, stress, which is the driver of my chronic pain syndrome. I have had, as an ACEs child, Type 2 stress. My pain neurotags go off and running on their own. This is giving me practices and tools to better manage this stress.

[expressenglishtraining]

Excellent ! The best way to learn is by someone who sets the example. Thank you Dr .Rossman.

[Spgal]

I could sit and listen to you all day. The information is so fascinating and eye opening as well as your voice is so soothing. :)

[brandiemclaughlin]
