I’ve used it quite a bit, and I’ve found some of it quite helpful. However, I was wondering if there were any downsides to it. Does anyone here know?

I have been searching for this for a long time now and haven’t had any luck. Even information on a therapist with special training in social phobia/social anxiety would help a lot.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

You wouldn’t understand, but if I see a therapist I’d get fired from my job. And no, I work for a government agency so it wouldn’t be protected or anything. I have social anxiety disorder and major depression and I’ve been thinking about CBT for a long time.

I’ve studied a bit of both and it seems there is a relationship between the two and I’m wondering if there is? Are there books out there that talk about this?

I talked to my friend about having Social anxiety and he said CBT is extremely effective because it is based around correcting irrational and un-realistic thoughts which all SA really is. He said even people with extreme SA can overcome it with CBT if they are determined and stick with it. I have a more mild form of SA and i was wondering since I can do basic things like hold eye contact and carry a conversation would I see results quicker then someone with severe SA?

If the idea behind it is that you can change your feelings through strategic reasoning, can it work when you want/need to fall out of love with someone?

I am doing a report and I need to know if I should put exposure therapy in a different category than CBT. Thanks in advance, and please don’t answer if you don’t know.

I posted a question earlier about how to get rid of depression and many people suggested Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The problem is i don’t know what it is. Please help!

What happens in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
