subject: Obtain Anxiety Relief From Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy As Well As Social Relationships! [print this page] Cognitive/behavioral therapy along with the special bonds found in social relationships represent excellent ways to experience anxiety relief. Cognitive therapy has to do with simply changing the way someone thinks and behaves. Cognitive therapy theorists believe negative thoughts and feelings will naturally create anxiety and mood disorders in one's life.
For example, if a student is struggling with algebra but seeing other students succeeding, the student may see himself or herself as a failure. The negative thoughts may lead to anxiety or even depression. So cognitive therapy would try to change the way the student perceives "struggling with algebra" that would not be associated with such negative thoughts.
Perhaps the cognitive therapist would get the student to focus more on his or her own star qualities unique to only that particular individual. The therapist might try to build up the student's self-esteem by allowing him or her to see that "nobody's" perfect.
Behavioral therapy offers relief from anxiety in the sense that it modifies one's behavior to help that person become more adaptive to an uncomfortable situation and thus relinquish the fear triggered by a set of environmental and social factors. So, for instance, let's look at the example of a nervous law student. A behavioral therapist may recreate a law school environment.
The therapist may even take the student to a large classroom setting. The idea would be to walk the student through a simulated class session. The therapist would help the student with relaxation techniques and coping skills for manifested anxiety. The ultimate goal would be to make the student feel as comfortable as possible in a situation that would normally trigger emotional worry, fear or even panic.
Another way to experience anxiety relief is through the special bond of social relationships. If you can surround yourself with people who respect and appreciate you the most, you can heal and nurture your own self-image dramatically. It will allow you to see more of your own personal star qualities. It will change your way of thinking and offer a new perspective about the world and how other people view you specifically. It will most certainly reduce your anxiety and stress levels and help you manage if not eliminate panic attacks.
