I am using CBT off and on to catalogue my thoughts that bring anxiety on and then I discuss it with someone I trust. Was the Doctor to start and now I bounce things off my spouse.

I have used CBT in the past for some social anxiety I was experiencing during high school. CBT is a highly effective treatment.. and I definitely recommend it. I still use the skills that I learned 5 years ago, daily. Anything is worth a try. It's not necessarily for everyone but I personally found it very helpful.
