Myth Or Fact?

Well, I come here to help myself and find that useful. I also have had the same therapist for a while now. HE is very good and helps me when I need it. It is a kind of CBT mixed with biofeedback. -Diva

Although counter to my social anxiety, I can reap benefits from attending support groups of various types. I probably wouldn't even have my present job if it wasn't for the boost I recieved from attending face to face meetings of Recovery Inc. They use a structured group approach utilizing a very CBT based approach, though it may not have been labeled that way when originally developed. When I was off work on a disability directly connected to my anxiety and suffering significant depression, I found support through a local Mood Disorder group. Being able to speak openly about responses to medication, troubles with psychiatrists and describing symptoms in a forum of people unlikely to apply judgement. I sure wouldn't discuss details of my disability to many others.

Myth: Therapy and self-help are wastes of time. Why bother when you can just stay inside and watch TV. Fact: Therapy and self-help have been proven very effective in the treatment of panic and anxiety disorders. Therapists, counsellors, peers, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers are all available to help. Using these therapies in combination with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and medication if necessary can provide individuals with great results. What therapy or combination or therapies have you found useful in helping with your panic and anxiety? Josie
