Has CBT helped anyone with their anxiety /panic?

Yes!!

I found it to be of undeniable benefit!

It did take time, effort...and at first did not seem to be helping...

...however, I stuck with it, and found that towards the end of my allotted session (most courses are about 12 weeks) that the recovery just took off...and kept going even after I had stopped going in for the therapy. (but I continued the practices!)

I also supplemented with self help coping skills that I learned here, from other sites and from books.

I can absolutely endorse and encourage you to try this!

Hi Family

Sorry what is CBT ?

Oh Thanks HB

We all perceive things differently at any given time.

...this is neither wrong nor right...it simply is.

As long as we show mutual respect for how others feel...

Our hearts and spirits are big enough for everyone's outlook.:)

With love,

Hey we're a family...

...show me a family who doesn't pop off at each other every once in a while... ;)

CBT has been a big help for me. A lot of my anxiety and panic has been anticipatory and learning how to deal with negative thoughts and keep them in check has been empowering. We are in control and have the right to choose the thoughts we entertain. I'm putting the skills I learned to use tonight and it has helped!!! Like SC said it takes time and work. I suggest some supplemental self help resources as well.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm finding less anxiety just by reading the CBT books I have. I think understanding it is helping. Hopefully I'll get even better in the coming weeks with a new therapist.
