How many times have you been lured by the flashy promise of a cure from panic attacks (social anxiety disorder)? It seems almost too good to be true, but what are the chances of curing you from what these nerve racking situations bring on you: from panic attacks to being fearful of strangers to simply being tongue tied at or feared of social events?

They start off by luring you in with some kitschy sales talk, laying it on thick, then after the premise of a cure they move on to the price. Starting at an overstated price, and then slowly coming down in price, even offering you useless add-ons for free, which you will never ever use! Well, I suppose they have to make you feel comfortable and get those endorphins zapping about inside of your head. That is when you are hooked on what is a supposed cure for panic attacks and they have your money for something that is completely ineffective.

Examined in the cold light of day these downloads, MP3s or instructions are not worth the media they came in or on. Oh yes, they also tempt you to subscribe to other useless so-called special 'one off' offers that will expire within 24-hours or so if you don't act fast. The industry supplying these overly priced fixes really go to town in throwing the hard sell at you, and many buyers fall hook, line and sinker for the ploys used. So do be careful what you buy when it comes to fixing your social anxiety disorder or you may well succumb to another social anxiety attack.

Former therapist and now global best-selling writer Stephen Richards adds comment by saying, "Most of these products on offer to cure social anxiety are nothing more than 'snake oil' pitches, just made to entice the weak willed and unwary into buying useless products. These goods do little more than mask the problem for a short while, not targeting the actual areas in the mind that are in need of retraining. Basically it is all a waste of money."

The self-help industry, especially in the curative therapies, has made a good living off exploiting the weaknesses of those in need. The first step to overcoming social phobia is an acceptance that you have now started work on reversing it.

Some of these treatments on offer are so protracted that it is like two crabs in a bucket fighting each other to get out. Yes you want to escape the dysfunction social phobia brings on, but by being immersed in prolonged therapy it self perpetuates and you just seem to go around in circles. A few days of feeling good then back to the stages of spiralling back to where you stared from: tightness of the chest, difficulty breathing in a normal way, feeling nauseous, compulsive thoughts, etc, etc.

In the way these 'cure all' products are pushed at you and in such quantity it is no wonder the amount of panic attacks is on the increase. By virtue of the amount of products out there it is easy to be caught up into thinking that it is a fashion to actually have such a disorder.

With some of the methods on offer, that supposedly cure panic attacks, you could actually fill a shoe box up with the paraphernalia that goes with it. The real situation is that medication, relaxation exercises, hypnotherapy, psychiatry or other such treatments are not the solution to anxiety and panic attacks. Yet some audio CDs use what is called embedded subliminals, these go below the level of your conscious awareness.

By all means, use such subliminal CDs, but they are only good if you get to hear all what is said, because if your subconscious mind misses a few words then it could pick up only some of what is meant, and then it all goes wrong! Then there are the hypnotherapy CDs, but one hypnotherapy CD cannot do what would in real life take anything from 10-24 hypnotherapy sessions to achieve. What about those multipacks of MP3s you can download, surely they must do something? Well to some degree they do help clog your computer with useless files that you might actually listen to one day, when you get around to it. However, now there is a real alternative! Yes, a real inexpensive alternative that actually works!

The real groundbreaking technology that has made a breakthrough in the cure of social anxiety disorder is very, very simple! In the most advanced cure for social anxiety phobia, International Best-selling Self-help Author Stephen Richards has done away with the need for self-hypnosis or the use of subliminal messaging.

Stephen Richards has, when he worked full time in therapy, cured long-term agoraphobics in just one session. Bringing some of that expertise forward to the now, he designed this technique and has extraordinarily broken with protocol of the usual cognitive therapy used by therapists. Gone are the wasteful and time consuming downloads of MP3 files or PDF printouts. It is the most straightforward method you will ever come across, and all on one CD! Yes, the "Releasing You From Social Anxiety CD" by Stephen Richards is just on one CD! This is a solid, real life CD ... not a download. This is an amazing feat to pack so much into such a small space when you consider most self-help downloads are on about 10 x MP3 files, or even the CDs you get through the ordinary post could not be listened to even you spent all day playing one after another.

Stephen Richards has developed a method to help overcome social anxiety disorder that is so simple. Just one 20 minute session can do what others claim to do in tens of hours. One other criterion he stipulated was that it had to be inexpensive so that anyone could afford it. After working on this project and fine tuning it, Stephen Richards was happy to proceed to the stage of where it became available to the public for less than the cost of a film DVD.

After listening for just 20 minutes of track two, the "Releasing You From Social Anxiety CD" does away with hours and hours of listening to boring MP3 downloads. The other great piece of news is that Stephen Richards is not taking advantage of those in need by charging way over the top for the CD. It is with this in mind that prompted him to go into action to design such a product that would do away with the less than reasonable stance these others had taken on what he considered to be a fair price. As well as this, he wanted a genuine 'fast fix', not just something that promised all but delivered nothing.

"The way that some social anxiety treatments are dispensed by ruthless sellers is exploitation of those desperate for help. It is chaotic that anyone without a background in therapy can just put these things together, and they are then taken on trust that the product is 'good to go'. It is obvious to me that there is a clear objective to why they do this. It is not with the sufferer of social anxiety in mind, that is for sure. I believe in a low-cost, but professional, fix," says Stephen Richards.
