in my opinion...
it seems that you paid little attention to the suggestion that required discipline. and TCB is encouraging a quicker fix. nothing against TCB, but he does not strike me as a very anxious person. so as a fellow anxiety sufferor; might i suggest maybe leaning more towards the more disciplined technique. where as, you may find that the dedication and complete thought required in more difficult techniques could be just the thing to successfully occupy your mind from whatever anxieties you suffer.
