If all that hasn't worked, perhaps it's time to consider something else — a brand new, powerful approach unlike anything you've tried before.

It's time for BrightLife.

Our work is so effective, we have been featured on numerous local, national and even international print, radio and television, including our appearances in the Montreal Gazette, KNX 1070 NewsRadio in Los Angeles, Esquire Magazine, as well as the Discovery Health Channel's six-part television series, Things That Go Bump: Facing Our Fears. On that program, BrightLife Co-Founder Robert Mantell assisted a client to eliminate an intense twenty-year phobia in just 15 minutes! See the video here!

Let's face it — chances are, the reason you've landed here at this website is because you have a problem with anxiety. But there's no such thing as anxiety without an accompanying context. One feels anxious in relation to something — some time, situation, place or circumstance, or some thing.

Yet, how does one know how to feel about anything — especially when it comes to anxiety — without mentally "stepping into" the experience first? That is to say, in order for the brain to know how to feel about anything that's not happening right now, one must first bring up the mental record of a past event (in the form of a memory) or an imagination of what may happen in the future.

Since the past is totally gone now, and since the future hasn't happened yet, the only way you could know how to feel about those events is based on how you construct your imagination of, or think about those events while right here in the present. Quite simply, when you change how you construct your imaginations of past or future events, you can't possibly feel the same way (i.e. anxious) about them anymore.

Not everybody responds to the same set of circumstances in the same way. You've heard the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." It's true! Different people tend to respond to the exact same situation quite differently. Some people might respond quite resourcefully to the same kinds of situations that virtually always trouble you, and you might find yourself responding quite resourcefully to situations that trouble many others.

How is this possible? It's possible because it's not the thing or the object out there that makes or compels you to feel one way or another about it — it's the decisions you make (totally unconsciously, by the way!) about what that thing means out there means in relation to you that determines how you respond to it emotionally. That is to say, how you represent the given situation to yourself determines how you feel about it. It follows simply, therefore, that when you change how you think about whatever it is you've been fearing, you can't possibly respond to it the same way anymore!

In most forms of traditional psychotherapy, your well-meaning therapist does his or her best to help you to think differently about the fearful situation by trying to talk some "sense" into you — either by offering insight into how your past experiences came together to create your present-day challenge, or by trying to convince you how "irrational" your fears are, or both. For some, this approach can be effective. For most, it's a repetition of information the client already knows all too well, and has tried valiantly to change in the past with little or no success. The fact is, insight — in and of itself — is rarely curative.

What do we do differently? Why do people come from all over the world to seek our help?

Rather than trying to talk you out of it by offering rational explanations for why you "really don't have to feel this way", etc., etc., we bypass all of that and go right for how you unconsciously represent the fearful situation to yourself. This is called your subjective experience.

The good news is that subjective experience actually has a mental structure that's responsible for how you experience it — the same way a creation of a chocolate cake has a structure (called a recipe — the actual ingredients used, how much of those ingredients you use, and the order in which you combine those ingredients) that's responsible for the end result when you put it all together.

Just like a cake recipe, when you change any element of how you organize your "mental recipe", you can't help but get a different result this time. And this is almost always something that can be completed and changed within just a matter of minutes, days or weeks — not months or years, as is all too often the case in standard forms of psychotherapy.

Put simply, our job is to discover your "mental recipe" for how you've been unconsciously creating your fear, anxiety or panic, and once identified, we'll assist you in quickly and completely reorganizing it, so you just can't get the fear back — no matter how hard you try.
