Nearly everyone has this fear to begin with.
Most people with severe anxiety try many ways to overcome their fear, through relaxation techniques, diets, alternative medicines and so on and if their anxiety doesn’t change they worry that maybe they can never be helped.
The reason these other things don’t work is they don’t address the actual problem – the misinterpretation of harmless yet frightening symptoms of fight or flight
CBT has a very high success rate in treating anxiety because it helps you see the complete picture – from what causes anxiety, what maintains anxiety and more importantly – what you need to do to correct the problem and get your life back on track.
