GG,
I'll let you hold the success of my son close, to help you get your heart around it. He did biofeedback and CBT stuff to get past his anxiety. He was on paxil, and came off...he still gets anxious but he uses all the tools he learned to keep going and get through things. Sometimes I have to still go get him, but mostly he makes it. And he has a great relationship with his therapist, but it is nothing like the intimate one I have with mine. Which is fine with him. He is happy to see him when he does, but he is happier about being able to go to school consistently, etc.
So, not all bad. This approach IS good for some problems and some people. I wish we could all learn the lesson of one size does NOT fit all. I agree with your "perfect world wish" though it is my experience that when services are completely free, there is less investment from clients sometimes. Double-edge sword, I guess.
