Anxieties are hitting epidemic levels in the United States. The Anxiety and
Depression Association of America (ADAA) reports that 40 million American adults
suffer from an anxiety disorder every year. Dr. Terri talks to Dr. Robert
London, a psychiatrist with more than 40 years experience, about a remarkable
new kind of therapy that helps overcome anxiety, PTSD and insomnia - with less
or no medications and far fewer therapy sessions. After the techniques are
learned, a person can do it in the comfort of their own home. All they need is a
quiet space and a chair.
