“I think the reason that Attacking Anxiety works is Lucinda, who put the program together, overcame the issues that people who are watching the program and learning from the program have. If we program our mind in anxious and worrying ways, you’re going to get anxiety and worry. Positive thinking is saying, Okay, there might be some things that happen today that I Chrysler Corporation didn’t plan on or I don’t really like, but I can deal with it because Ford Motor Company McDonald’s Corporation Merck Pharmaceutical I’m a problem solver. I know that I can deal with this” and it’s just amazing if you program your mind in positive ways. So that’s why I think Attacking Anxiety is fabulous… because Lucinda and the people who put it together had the same problems at one time.”

“On my Miss USA official application and judge’s sheet I answered the question: If you had the opportunity to sit and have lunch with any- one in the world, who would it be and why? My answer was Lucinda Bassett. Why? Because it would be so gratifying to thank her for the differ- ence she has made in my life and so many others. She is my hero!”

Sincerely, Janet Sutton, Miss Rhode Island USA

Presentation Topics

“As President and Publisher of Psychology Today I’m exposed to a tremendous amount of material designed to enrich people’s lives. We endorse Lucinda’s Program because it’s the best program of its kind. I’d highly recommend her series to my friends as well as readers of Psychology Today.”

Lawrence Rose, President, Psychology Today

“I’ve known Lucinda Bassett for 12 years, and it’s been such a pleasure to me – for me to see how she’s influenced millions of people’s lives over a very short period of time, and I think it’s because she believes in what she does. She’s selfless and thoughtful and really wants to impact their lives in ways that they might know in their heart but may have forgotten, and she helps them get back to that special place inside of them that’s a comforting, balancing place that says, “I’m okay. I can handle my day. I can handle tomorrow. I feel good about myself.”

Margaret McBride, Literary Agent

“But by using Lucinda’s program, I began to see that there was light at the end of the tunnel, at least personally. While I couldn’t control all the surroundings, I could certainly control how I reacted to my surroundings. I put these surroundings in perspective and realized that despite the fact that we were faced with this enormous disaster (speaking of Hurricane Katrina) that if I was able to manage my emotions, keep my emotions in check I could not only do my job better as a public servant, but I could also get control of my life and address the situation. I’m running for Congress and I don’t think I would have ever taken the leap had I not had the program. I would never have taken that kind of a risk. I’m taking risks now; I’m seeing positive changes in my life. I’m not afraid anymore. I’m not afraid of the day, as I was particularly in the post-Katrina times.”

Tim Burns, Louisiana House of Representatives and 2008 Congressional Candidate

“Lucinda’s someone who started almost at ground zero and after taking this program, writing it, working with it, refining it and living it, she’s come from someone pretty much at the beginning of the tunnel with no light at the end to not only emerging into the light, but being able to shine that line on other people.

She is one of the most amazing individuals I’ve ever met. I met her over 20 years ago and I felt an instant connection with her and since that time, our friendship has evolved through business and in a personal sense to the point where I feel like she’s probably one of my best friends, if not my best friend. And I would trust her with anything. If you ever need someone to talk to or if you ever want to explore your own feelings about something, there is no one better than Lucinda Bassett…”

Dr. Philip Fisher

To Whom It May Concern:

As Marketing Director of Natural Health magazine I have had the great privilege of organizing our signature Women’s Wellness retreats. The focus of these retreats is to provide readers with the tools to live a healthy and balanced life. In October 2007 at the Westward Look Resort in Tucson, Arizona I watched Lucinda Bassett empower our readers with her amazing presentation, Power, Passion & Peace of Mind. Women were brought to tears by the knowledge they are not alone and the simplicity of how to overcome their fears and live in the moment.

I invited Lucinda to be our keynote speaker after talking to a friend who had used Lucinda’s Attacking Anxiety & Depression Program. My friend spoke of the program as if it was a miracle cure. I had to find out more about the lady behind the program. When I spoke to Lucinda and heard her story I was blown away at how easy she was to talk with and the power of her message. I knew she had to be a part of Women’s Wellness.
Lucinda did a great job in her presentation of connecting her story to everyday living and drawing parallels to common problems all women share. Perhaps the most important message for these women searching for answers was that they are not alone and that they have the power to take charge of their lives.
I am so looking forward to our spring event and watching Lucinda transform the lives of a new set of women.

Dear Lucinda,

On behalf of everyone at Southern Tier AIDS Program (STAP), I want to thank you for the remarkable pre- sentation you did for us at the Regency Conference Center in Binghamton, New York. The responses we have received from the people who attended your talk have all been positive and exuberant. It was truly a night we will all remember for a very long time.

Your “From Panic to Power” theme was exactly what so many of us needed to hear and experience, up close and personal. This was evident from the long line of people who waited to meet you after the conclusion of the program. Thank you for spending so much time with us and treating everyone so warmly and graciously.

We all drew inspiration from the lessons you so openly offered about your own recovery. I could feel the posi- tive energy in the room of over 500 people when you delivered your amazing presentation.

Lucinda, as you know our agency serves people living with a devastating disease – HIV/AIDS. Many of our clients were on hand to hear you that evening. I know from feedback they shared with me that they experienced a renewed sense of hope and energy that will bolster their spirit in their struggle with AIDS.

It was not only our HIV/AIDS clients who benefited from your story and your guidance, but people who came with their own set of problems – anxiety, depression and fear. It was really special to have people come up and thank me for coordinating the Empowering Speaker Series that brought you across the country to spend time with us.

You know Lucinda that I invited you to be our speaker because of my own battle with depression. I will never forget the difference your extraordinary program has made in my life. I am taking on challenges today that I would have avoided in the past. Because of your tapes, CDs and books, I have found the awareness and strength to go forward, armed with insight and techniques that are keeping me healthy and positive.

Thank you for being such and inspiration and for giving of yourself to help so many of us.

With warmest regards,

Ron Siwiec
Director of Development
Southern Tier AIDS Program (STAP) 122 Baldwin Street
Johnson City, NY 13790
