can cognitive behavioral therapy help people who have bad anxiety and as a result have been emotionaly numb(lacking emotions, empathy, and connection to others) for a couple of years?
if succesful will this person be able to feel emotions and empathy again?

we were talking about how our insurance companies wouldn’t pay for needed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I was wondering how much an average session cost, and whether people could just make online communities that went through a peer-reviewed book together, if individual members couldn’t afford the cost of a session.
In the dictionary “cognitive” is simply defined as the way one thinks. “Behaviour” is simply defined as the way one behaves. Therefore the subject of “cognitive behaviour therapy” is looking at how one thinks in relation to how one behaves.
As discussed in previous arictles, counselling is the means of looking inwards to find one’s truth and in short, build a better life for one’s self.
Both Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are recognised by many therapists and clinicians as being powerful goal-directed therapies . Substantial empirical research supports this fact.
The cognitive behavioural approach is to focus on the root of emotional disturbance – our thinking. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is a methodology whereby hypnosis is integrated into the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
What is a cognitive and behavioural approach?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a psychological treatment that is evidenced to be effective at helping people overcome and manage difficulties such as anxiety, depression, OCD, agoraphobia, and other such problems. Cognitive behaviour therapy is a short-term talking therapy, meaning that you will not require input for long periods of time.
Did you know that CBT is also useful at helping people with weight and eating problems? A CBT approach is not about faddy diets but rather you developing an understanding of the psychological blocks that keep you locked in unhealthy eating and weight problems. Most approaches to weight-loss focus on changing your eating and activity behaviours, e.g. through diet and exercise. These approaches do not take account of the internal psychological factors behind your eating and activity behaviours – your thoughts and feelings. I am an occupational therapist and I use CBT Edinburgh to help people who want to overcome weight problems.
I know a lot of people have found CBT to be very effective while other could greatly benefit in the guidance of others who have “been there, done that”. There currently is no online community for cognitive behavioral therapy, and I have a lot of experience building online communities. Does anyone who is doing/has done CBT think this would be beneficial? If you are interested, I’d be happy to contact you when it goes live… I would say I could have it online in less than a week.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) can be useful in helping people to overcome shyness and social anxiety. At my Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) practice in Edinburgh, I have found that seemingly confident people often present for treatment because they are fed up with dreading social events and feeling tense during situations that are supposed to be enjoyable.
Often the people that I see for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Edinburgh that have problems with social anxiety aren’t stereotypical wallflowers. They have professional jobs and often large, busy social networks. So why do they feel nervous and self-doubting inside? There is no straight answer to this question. It is usually due to a mixture of factors.
Ok, I suffer from social anxiety. I would really like to get help from a therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy. Does medical insurance cover something like that? How do i go about finding a therapist and getting help?
