Guest you are clearly a hater. What good does making fun of the most successful and proven technique (CBT) for treating anxiety disorders accomplish?
Why don't you come back and offer suggestions that help people instead?
Your example at the end was excellent btw, because feelings are not facts and you did not die, so your irrational thought was what was making you anxious not any physical cause. |

|
|
| I used to have multiple daily panic attacks, too. It took literally years before I was able to get past it. I found that certain locations and topics would trigger the attacks. By avoiding those triggers, I was able to minimize the atacks. Also, my therapist helped me with realistic thinking (I don't know the correct term for this). My thinking about situations were not based on reality but more on my imagined fear. Once I was able to start forcing myself to face things outside of my imagination, I saw improvement. |

| Cbt is realistic thinking or at least that is what it teaches you to do and when you do the anxiety goes away. The TEA form exercise in the book by Sam Obitz is wonderful and gets you to learn to live in the moment and eliminate anxiety. I feel so much better now thanks to cbt and the tea forms. |
