Autosuggestion

Affirmations are helpful in treating phobias. If the patient is too depressed or is unwilling to repeat the affirmations by himself or herself, record them on a tape recorder cassette. Then listen to this cassette twice per day, twenty minutes each morning and evening. The affirmations are:

	From day to day I am better and healthier in every way.
	I love myself unconditionally--for myself.
	I am in full control of my body, mind, and spirit.
	From day to day I am stronger and happier in every way.
	I release the past. I am living peaceful and secure.
	I can express myself freely and peacefully.
	I relax into the flow of life and let life flow through me with ease.
	I feel tolerance and compassion and love for all people and myself.
	From day to day I fulfill myself in every way.
	From day to day all my personal problems dissolve until they disappear.
