Still Going Through the Phases of Habituation — Wonderful Video: CBT for Tinnitus Distress

^^^^This is a good example even though I wasn't even talking about this guy.

 

@Autumnly thanks for your thoughts; I think you've explored a fairly controversial topic here with a lot of reason, insight, and no tendency to go off half-cocked.
