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."

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.

"When my brother was going through a very difficult divorce, it greatly effected by 13 year old nephew who has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. He couldn't calm down He paced continually and had great difficulty getting to sleep at night. I loaned my set of "Old Me New Me CDs to my brother to use my nephew. It made a significant difference. He listened to them when he went to bed. The stories and relaxation exercises helped him to relax and fall asleep. During the day, he was more relaxed and much calmer. As a therapist, I have personally used this program with kids with ADHD, anxiety disorders and depression. Not only does it help to calm down an overly active or excited child, it helps the child to focus and concentrate, teaches strategies to promote self control, and enhances self-esteem. I find the program to be an important adjunct to other forms of therapy with children. I also find it to be a useful tool to continue using at home when therapy is over."

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. Emotional
change must take place in the right hemisphere since left brain talk
therapy does little to help children and teens make the necessary
changes in their behavior. Imagery,
relaxation and music first calms the young person's nervous system
so that behavioral changes become possible. An emphasis in the
stories is on problem solving and making better choices taught in
short stories using imagery and calming positive self talk and
music. Many
professionals think that a lack of problem solving skills and good
decision making skills is a major reason that many children and
teens experience frustration, anger, anxiety, temper tantrums and
out of control behavior. These skills are taught and positive change
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 lifes
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 taught in the story lines. The inability to
handle frustration, stress and major changes appropriately is
another reason many young people exhibit behavior problems.
These important behavioral and emotional skills are best learned in
a relaxed state.
This program is
especially effective for those who have experienced trauma, severe
negative experiences or post traumatic stress also helpful for
children who need help in handling the stress in their lives. 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. Parents also report that the Old Me New Me
is very helpful for children with Asperger's Syndrome as well.
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 were presented at the Texas
State Counselors' conference in Galveston, Texas April 14,2008 and
another study will be presented at the Texas State Counselors'
Conference Nov. 7, 2008.

"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.

"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!

I attended a workshop for
Children in the Middle with Mimi Lupin and was excited by what it
had to offer. I had been looking for something that could
make a difference for families going through the ravages of
divorce. "Children in the Middle" proved to be the answer. I
shared the materials and what I learned from Mimi with the court
system in our county. "Children in the Middle" will soon be
offered here! thank you Mimi for providing such a wonderful
and needed workshop.
