Nice calm slow voice. Good length. I have attempted to do STOP on my own unsuccessfully. Ivan, you explain the steps v well and its as if you are there going through it with me. The last section i will repeat (not allowing things to affect me negatively) to self regularly. Much calmer and focused now. Thanks a lot from Anne in Edinburgh, Scotland.
