"Panic and Anxiety can be debilitating to your life. It will keep you from doing social events and limit everything you do. I have read an ebook that was very helpful in eliminating and controlling the panic and anxiety. I was afraid to go out and now can enjoy an evening with friends in a relaxed state. The Panic and anxiety book tells you what causes this and the best way to learn to avoid the anxiety attack before it starts." - Bindi Watts
Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety actually work?
I believe I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and am seriously considering receiving CBT for it. Has anyone had any experience with this? Did it work?
YES!
I'm living proof that cognitive therapy and behavior modification (in conjunction with the right SSRI) can set you free.
Cognitive therapy is simply replacing the silly negative thoughts with rational, positive ones. The difficult (but not impossilbe) part is remembering to utilize CBT in the midst of an anxiety attack.
Good luck !

CBT has helped me when I am rock bottom attain some level of climbing out of the dark hole I am in. I don't get out but I get a lot better. Hypnotism has never worked for me. I even tried it for cigarettes. It finally took me looking at my last pack of cigarettes in the house and saying the hell with it.

Everyone is wired differently, thus, what works for someone else might not work for you and vice versa. If you are considering any type of treatment your best bet would not be asking another person (and a stranger at that) if that particular treatment helped but instead find out more about it and talk to a professional about the treatment and decide whether or not you think you would respond to the treatment in a positive manner.

I haven't tried it but I have heard it works. Can be painful though. Sometimes they ridicule you out of it.
