I don't follow this logic -- unless there's some evidence that Abilify actually induces long-term brain changes that might reduce anxiety. If it's as Ritch has suggested, and the idea is that you'll respond better to therapy with an anxiolytic on board, then surely regular use of a benzo during the initial stages should have the same effect?
I dunno - just sounds like another excuse for avoiding benzos at all costs, and trying meds whose long-term effects are much more poorly understood. I'd (politely) ask your doctor for clarification, since this sounds pretty fishy to me.
