How can playing the CD while Im asleep be of any use to me?
Youll need to put the CD on at bed time. Youll need to use a CD player that is capable of repeating a CD so that it remains on “continuous play” throughout the entire night. All you do is listen to the CD and let it lull you to sleep. Leaving the CD on throughout the night allows the subconscious mind to absorb the story at the part of the brain from which the fear response is controlled. Are you familiar with the term Fight-Flight Response? Thats the built-in response mechanism that allows you to flee when you sense trouble. When you confront your fear or phobia, that mechanism kicks in. That causes a response: anxiety. That anxiety is what stops you from freely doing what you want, when you want. The more this series of events occur, the more afraid you become. AVOIDING WHAT YOU FEAR CAUSES MORE FEAR, AND THEREFORE, MORE AVOIDANCE. Thats the cycle youre in, yes? By leaving the CD on all night, you are exposing the part of the brain — the subconscious, where the Fight-Flight Response
