Well I talked to my sister and she was equating anxiety wraps with "restraint therapy" or "holding therapy". Restraint therapy is when you take children that have certain disorders and basically hold them down. It is a very controversial therapy that is actually illegal in some states.

I'm not sure I agree with her feeling that anxiety wraps work on the same principle. The issue with restraint therapy is that it treats aggression with aggression (similar to alpha rolling dogs) and it is dangerous to physically restrain another person. If I understand anxiety wraps correctly - it is more of a neuro stimilus that sends calming signals to the brain more along the lines of T-touch therapy.

I think it would be worth a try. You're right - the science behind it sounds extremely plausible.
