Therapy For Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety, stress and worry can be a great motivator. It can inspire us to work harder, complete our tasks and become responsible for ourselves. When it becomes excessive, however, it can interfere with daily living. There are many types of anxiety disorders.
The National Institutes Of Health website lists some of them as:
generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
panic disorder
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
social phobia
mixed anxiety (combination of the above)
Changing the way in which one thinks about a given situation is known as cognitive therapy. This involves re-analysis of a situation. For example, changing the belief that one has little chance of getting hired will help decrease anxiety during an interview. Changing the way in which one reacts to a given situation is known as behavioral therapy. For example, one has a choice of responses - anger, acceptance, non-judgment. The two parts joined together is called Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and has proven to be very affective in the management of anxiety disorders. Through the guidance of a knowledgeable, compassionate therapist, a calmer life can be achieved.
