19. 0:44lifebook literally
20. 0:46came from my deepest pain uh the biggest
21. 0:49challenge that we've ever had in our
22. 0:51lives
23. 0:52about 25 26 years ago i was struck by a
24. 0:56severe anxiety disorder full-blown
25. 0:59agoraphobia which basically i was house
26. 1:02found for a couple months with the worst
27. 1:05debilitating anxiety you can imagine i
28. 1:08mean i i literally couldn't do anything
29. 1:09i couldn't drive the car i couldn't go
30. 1:11to a restaurant it was
31. 1:13nuts
32. 1:14and i i was going through such a
33. 1:17difficult time missy didn't know what to
34. 1:18do
35. 1:19my dad was actually watching late night
36. 1:22tv and he saw a couple
37. 1:25uh infomercials one by tony robbins and
38. 1:28and one by another personal development
39. 1:30lady
40. 1:30and he bought me two personal
41. 1:33development programs that year because
42. 1:34he thought it might help the horrendous
43. 1:36pain i was going through
44. 1:38and so that was tony robbins personal
45. 1:40power too and a program called attacking
46. 1:43anxiety by lucinda bassett which is a
47. 1:45phenomenal program
48. 1:47that was my very first introduction to
49. 1:49personal development ever never never
50. 1:51done anything like that before
51. 1:53and i listened to those two programs and
52. 1:55it helped tremendously i i felt like i
53. 1:58got my feet on the ground a little bit
54. 2:01and i kept the notes
55. 2:03that i was taking during those programs
56. 2:06in a little binder and
57. 2:08like i would i would refer to those
58. 2:10notes every single day i would have that
59. 2:12binder with me everywhere i went because
60. 2:15it would lessen my anxiety just to read
61. 2:17those empowering notes from from those
62. 2:20courses
63. 2:21and so that year as i started to very
64. 2:24very slowly wake make my way back from
