How Does the AA&D Program Work?
One Session a Week:
Start with one audio session and one homework assignment each week. Our web-based version makes it easy to follow along at your own pace. Check out the digital workbook for a gentle schedule to help you integrate the program into your daily life. Listen to the audio three times during the week and explore the workbook reading and homework afterward.
The Magic of Writing:
Use the digital journal feature to jot down your feelings each day and reflect on the question: Why did I feel this way? Writing can help clarify your thoughts. After completing your homework, review the example responses at the end of the lesson for valuable insights.
Stick to the Plan:
Enjoy the program one session at a time. Refer to the corresponding workbook section for a richer experience. Once you’ve completed the program, feel free to revisit any sessions that resonate with you. Supplemental video content is also available for purchase to enhance your learning.
Learn to Relax:
Use the relaxation audio daily—ideally twice a day. It guides you through gentle muscle relaxation and soothing imagery, helping you develop a natural relaxation response.
Be Patient with Yourself:
As you progress over the next 15 weeks, you may notice positive changes in your attitude and outlook. Meaningful skills take time to develop, so embrace the journey. With practice, you’ll find yourself feeling more confident, less stressed, and more in control of your life.

The Joy From Within Journey
At Joy From Within, we believe everyone deserves a life free from the burdens of stress, anxiety, and depression. For over 30 years, our flagship program, Attacking Anxiety & Depression (AA&D), has been a trusted guide for more than 1.4 million people, helping them rediscover their happiness and strength.
Rooted in the science of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), our program is backed by research and has been proven to be as effective—if not more—than traditional therapy. Featured on platforms like Oprah, The View, Good Morning America, and numerous magazines, AA&D has become a cornerstone in the field of emotional wellness.
We’ve evolved with the times—starting as cassette tapes in the 1980s, transitioning to CDs, and now offering a fully web-based program. Today’s AA&D combines the timeless effectiveness of our original approach with modern tools designed to meet your needs:
- 15 Updated Weekly Sessions that guide you step-by-step.
