I watched Dr. Phil yesterday, talking with people who suffer anxiety, panic and OCD, and I really related to the people on the show. I'm not a fan of Dr. Phil, but I watch if a topic sounds interesting. Anyway, he has this Dr. Lawlis guy who works with him, and they treated this one guest with a "BAUD" device (I'll post a couple of links for more info), and she was almost magically cured. I knew there was more to it--and there was, some breathing techniques--but no psychiatrist or psychologist, nor anyone who's ever treated me, has ever suggested behavior therapy or getting tests done like this PNP center supposedly does (again, see the links below). I decided to check out Dr. Lawlis, to see if maybe his program really works and maybe I should give it a try, even though I don't trust Dr. Phil and the whole reality TV shows. In short, I found out (see the third link) it's almost $7500 just for the initial evaluation! Even if this treatment really does work, I don't have thousands of dollars. So I guess I'm screwed, if I can't fix it myself!
