Why D.I.Y. Programs?

Do-it-yourself “therapy” gives you complete control to pursue your healthiest self at your own pace, in the comfort of your own space, when it suits you to do so.  It overrides the most common reasons you are not seeking immediate relief from your symptoms.  The Anxiety Doctor tools and programs were designed to overcome the following barriers:

THE 3 MAJOR BARRIERS TO TREATING OCD AND ANXIETY

Barrier #1:

Cost 

Therapy is extremely expensive.  Period.  Average costs vary by region, however the expense is usually a luxury.  The right therapy is well worth the money - if you have it.  The truth is, most do not.

Barrier #2:

Geography

Simply put, specialists are not a dime a dozen.  Many people need to travel far to get to their therapist.  We are in bigger cities, universities, and hospitals.  Lack of access to current, research-based, effective treatment is another reason people do not treat their symptoms.

Barrier #3:

Time

This is a barrier for so many of the things we wish we could do.  Sometimes it's not that we don't know what the healthy thing to do is - it is just that we think we don't have the time to do it right now, let alone on a therapist's schedule.
