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.”

“I use these tapes extensively in the clinic and I am contantlyimpressed with how effective and helpful the tapes are."

“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."

Daytona Beach, FL 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.

A University Study with
children of Katrina shows a significant decrease in the following behaviors: ADHD, Hyperactivity, Anxiety, Worry, Aggression, Frustration, Impulsivity, Physiological Symptoms and an Increase in Attention Span.
A non-drug alternative to ADHD medication.

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. Imagery, relaxation and
music first calms the young person's nervous system so that
behavioral changes become possible. A reduction of
frustration, anger, anxiety, temper tantrums and out of control
behavior 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.
OLD
ME NEW ME is an easy to use program, normally used in a
counseling session or used at home, at bedtime for children and teens who
experience anxiety,
ADHD,
post traumatic stress, behavioral or
emotional problems. By using Old
Me New Me and the additional component art and EFT program on
this site, long term effects of trauma, anxiety and post
traumatic stress can be lessened.
Researchers say that teens and
children have ten percentage more stress than adults and that 85% of
all adolescents report that they have too much stress in their
lives. Forty percent of children and adolescents who have been
diagnosed as having ADHD also experience anxiety disorder as well
even though they may be currently on medication for ADHD and
behavioral problems. This evidenced based program is a non drug
alternate to the use of medication for anxiety. Old Me New Me
teaches new behaviors and emotional responses to some of life’s
difficult and stressful situations and in so doing, reduces the
stress and anxiety
that so many of these young people
feel. Many parents are looking for help for these problems without
the use of medication. Getting to the root of the anxiety helps build self
esteem and a feeling of control for these youngsters.
Many positive changes are
possible when Old Me New Me is used over a full twelve
weeks period. Emotional and behavioral problems
diminish over time when new behaviors are learned and when these positive behaviors are encouraged and
reinforced by parents and teachers.
Using this
non drug therapy,
change is accomplished by using relaxation, guided imagery, soothing
sound effects, behavioral rehearsal and positive self-talk in a
story line using the right hemisphere of the brain. ADHD, emotional
and behavioral problems are lessened significantly. Children
respond extremely well to this therapy.
More appropriate
ways to handle stress are also taught. Behavioral and
emotional changes are best accomplished in a relaxed state.
This program is especially effective for those who have experienced trauma,
severe negative experiences or post traumatic stress. Some of the
most significant results from several university studies are a
decrease in ADHD behaviors and a decrease in anxiety, frustration
and aggression. Regular use will provide many of these
benefits. These programs are used by parents, counselors and
therapists and by children's hospitals. Research results are
available on this site.
Many children report
that their parents' divorce is one of the greatest stressors in
their lives and often times, the effects of this trauma is carried
into their adult lives. The after effects of this stressor can be
lessen to a great degree by how parents deal with the divorce. For
information on how to help decrease this stress and anxiety for
children, parents may download a free booklet that offers suggestions and ways to help their children
during this traumatic time in their lives.
Dr. Lendell Braud,
a professor of Psychology conducted a study using Old Me New Me with
a number of young victims of Katrina who experienced post traumatic
stress. Results showed a number of positive benefits from the use of this
program with these youngsters over a 12-15 week period. These
benefits included a decrease in anxiety, physiological stress and
worry, a reduction of concentration problems and depression.
Parents reported their children were less physically and verbally
aggressive, less impulsive and hyperactive and showed fewer signs of
frustration.
These results were presented at the American
Psychological Association in New Orleans at the annual meeting in
August 2006. In June 2007, this study was published in the Journal
of International Imagery. Results of this research are being
presented again at the Texas State Counselor's conference in
Galveston, Texas April 14,2008.
Swimming with the Dolphins, is
now available to help heal the hearts of children of divorce and to
help them overcome the negative thoughts and feelings about their
parents divorce. This program can be downloaded or purchased
separately from the Old Me New Me.

Old Me New Me is guaranteed to be helpful to your child if used
5-7 times per week over a three month period. If this is not
the case, the program can be returned in good condition for a money
back guarantee after three months for a money back guarantee less

"On a daily basis school nurses treat thousands of children with stress related health problems. For this reason, Old Me, New Me (formerly Peace, Harmony Awareness) is an important part of the curriculum.”

University of Colorado Health Science Center
"I used the "Old Me, New Me", tape series for many years during social skills classes with severely emotionally disturbed elementary children. I highly recommend it. Even students who were a little resistant to try them, began to love them. My students would beg to listen to the tapes!"
M. Peters
Behavior Specialist, San Antonio Texas
"This is my second year as a social worker and my experience with the CDs has been successful. I have a number of boys with ADHD and have found that they enjoy this program and are actually the students that relax the best in my groups. The other day, one of them asked when we would be doing the CDs again! This tells me that he is learning that this tool is helpful in his dealing with frustration. His mother told me that he has been doing the breathing at home and his teacher has seen improvement in his class also. Old Me New Me is a wonderful tool that has helped me this year and will help me in the years to come in addressing these problems with the children I work with. Thank you so much!"

"My wife and I have been providing a parent education program for our local district court for about 18 years. During that time, we made modifications of our program bsed on our experiences, continuing education programs and our readings. We found the program, "Children in the Middle" and felt that this program would compliment our approach. As a result we attended Mimi Lupin's workshop on "Children in the Middle". This program was presented in a professional, personable manner. The program fully met our needs in preparing us to implement, "Children in the Middle". We highly recommend this workshop."

Swimming with the Dolphins is an
excellent resource for parents, counselors and therapists to use
with children whose lives are touched by divorce. The CD gently
and lovingly guides the child through a healing visualization
with a family of wise and caring dolphins. Once familiar with the
process children can independently use this resource to promote
their own healing. Highly recommended!
