What Is It

Lucinda Bassett was a fixture in late-90s self-help culture — infomercials, mail-order programs, the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety. This tape is part of that world. The kind of program that ran late at night on cable and shipped to people who called a 1-800 number.

Mental health content from this era has a particular texture. Some of it holds up. Some of it is a window into how differently the conversation was happening then. This tape sits somewhere in that territory.
