No! We created this organisation as a group of people that have been through the depths of the anxiety state and come out the other side. We explain in the about us section of the website where your membership fee goes. Anxiety Free International, which runs the Freedom From Fear Group, is set up on anot-for-profitt basis. Currentl,y we have no paid employees and our directors are not remunerated. You can see some of the faces behind Anxiety Free International on our website: www.anxietyfree-international.com.

No! We have no religious or spiritual basis for our organisation. Our program is a practical program for coping with anxiety and its symptoms. We are open to people from all walks of life, of all faiths and none. We do ask, however, as part of our forum rules, that members do not impose their religious views on others.

Our program and forum are self-help resources. We do not offer telephone or email services. Users find that listening and applying the program, and supporting one another through our forum is enough.

Our experience is that when anxiety is dealt with in the right way the body adjusts back to normal levels of functioning and anxiety symptoms fade away. Many of our members have been told that they are suffering from a biological illness but have gone on to recover.

Truthfully - Yes. This approach is not a magic pill, but when it is practiced persistently the right way, the program and forum work. We have never seen a case where anxiety has not responded when a member listens persistently and applies the approach that they have learnt.

Recovery includes being able to cope and feel well without medication. This program will definitely help you come off your medication. We are not medically qualified to advise you how and when to come off your medication. However, our members know when they are feeling strong again and the time is right to think about coming off their medication, which should be done with the help of their prescriber.

In our experience, it is not necessary to go back into the past to find a hidden cause for suffering. Sufferers are concerned with the state they are in now. If you learn how to cope correctly with the state you are in your suffering will resolve itself. Also, if you recover the right way you will develop an inner confidence you have never had as well as have great compassion towards other sufferers.

It is impossible for someone in an anxiety state to go crazy. We promise you the following:

1. There is no edge to go over.

2. Your feelings WILL NOT (indeed CAN NOT) finally grow beyond your control.

3. What you imagine will NEVER EVER HAPPEN.

The answer is NO. It is neither serious nor mental. Frightening yes, serious no. Also, you are nervously ill not mentally ill. (Such as someone experiencing schizophrenia or psychotic episodes.)

The answer is a definite NO. Why? We have members that have suffered for all of the above periods and longer that have finally received the right help through this program.

Yes, it is possible. The author of our program has been recovered for over 35 years using this approach and has seen his clients recover. Dr Claire Weekes used the same approach as found in our program and helped thousands of people in person and through her books and recordings to recover.
