I use OLD ME, NEW ME in both my learning disability center and in my private practice. I found these tapes to be very effective in increasing self esteem and self control, and decreasing anxiety and aggression. I highly recommend that parents use them with their children at home.

“Over the past 6 years I have been involved with approximately 12 research studies using Peace, Harmony, Awareness.*  I have found these tapes to be effective with hyperactive and learning disabled children as well as with children in the regular classrooms. Improvements in attention to task, memory, academic achievement, internal locus of control, self esteem and self concept have been revealed. In addition, children responded very positively to the tapes. I have also found these tapes to be beneficial with adolescent and adult clients suffering from insomnia, test anxiety, and other stress related disorders.  Adults have also responded well to the Lupin tapes.”  *The Old Me, New Me tapes were formerly called “Peace, Harmony and Awareness.”

“Regardless of diagnosis, I have found that all of my clients have two things in common: 1) they are under psychological stress and 2) they are experiencing a loss of internalized control. I have found that the Old Me, New Me program helps reduce psychological stress, and, by its very nature, gives the client physiological and psychological control. I very often begin noticing positive changes within the first few sessions. I use the Old Me, New Me program as the foundation of nearly all of my therapy, and will continue to do so. Besides the relationship developed between therapist and client, I have found the program to be the most effective therapeutic technique I have discovered."

There are other relaxation tapes available but yours is the only one that seems to follow the most logical procession, i.e. teaching them progressive muscle relaxation and breathing techniques before going to visual imagery. It has demonstrated excellent results in my classroom."

Using the visual imagery and being able to swim in an ocean of love and caring with the playful dolphins creates a wonderful "time out" from the anxiety children and teens of divorce are experiencing.  The message of hope that SWTD imparts certainly will impact against the helplessness and sadness that these children, teens and parents are feeling.  I sincerely recommend this CD to parents, school counselors, pastors and all who work with these troubled ones.

In recent years, it has been discovered that talk therapy does little to help children and teens with behavioral and emotional problems. Both parents and counselors are often frustrated because these children's behavior does  not change.  It has been found through neurological and intellectual tests that children with lower I.Q. and poor auditory memory, as a rule, have better visual skills than auditory skills. For this reason, imagery, visualization and other right brain therapies such as Old Me New Me are considered best practice for these children and teens.

The Old Me New Me is an evidenced based right brain program and has helped hundreds of young people reduce their negative thinking and increase positive feelings and behavior, leading to more peace and joy in their lives. Emotional change must take place in the right hemisphere since left brain talk therapy does little to help children and teens make the necessary changes in their behavior. Imagery, relaxation and music first calms the young person's nervous system so that behavioral changes become possible. An emphasis in the stories is on problem solving and making better choices taught in short stories using imagery and calming positive self talk and music.  Many professionals think that a lack of problem solving skills and good decision making skills is a major reason that many children and teens experience frustration, anger, anxiety, temper tantrums and out of control behavior. These skills are taught and positive change becomes possible with continual use of the program. This program is often used in combination with medication and has also helped young people reduce  their reliance on medication over time.

OLD ME NEW ME is a series of  CDs for children and teens, using relaxation and guided imagery  to help reduce a number of emotional and behavioral problems. These behaviors include  negative thinking, anxiety, worry, frustration, impulsivity, aggression and ADHD behavior.
