People with anxiety usually engage in a whole range of avoidant behaviours in order to manage their very anxious feelings, particularly in the context of situations they find anxiety provoking. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people both challenge the negative thoughts that might make them anxious in certain situations, but also begin to reduce the safety behaviours that they engage in as a way of avoiding situations that they find anxiety provoking. So we tackle things both on the level of changing behaviours as well as changing thoughts.
