one of the impediments to appropriate mental health care is anxiety for those of us who have anxiety as part of our make up. This keeps many people from finding any help at all -- regardless of quality. Finding reliable ways to reduce anxiety will allow more people to access quality providers. My belief is that many of the scientifically-proven tools to turn down the volume on anger, anxiety and depression can be effectively taught via online free anger management courses, web-based anxiety disorder treatment classes, and concrete skills on mitigating depression via the Internet. I'm currently offering free online anger management classes to men, simply to get the word out there that it's a manageable challenge. My experience has been that tens of thousands of men are actively using this approach to turn down the volume on negative, destructive emotions and create happier, more successful lives. This has a ripple effect in that it helps the men individually, and everyone with whom they come into contact -- spouses, children, coworkers and others. We must make use of all the resources available to us to ensure high quality care for all. This is one such avenue. Many good points are raised here. I do agree though that it is incredibly important that the therapist and client are able to create a good bond that will help the therapeutic process. If there is a sense of unease or severe lack of rapport, then it's like banging your head against a brick
