CBT approach
CBT gives you a map of your anxiety, then shows you how to change it.
CBT is a practical method for understanding how thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviors interact.
Anxiety feels random until you map the pattern.
Once you can see it clearly, you can change it.
Identify sensations
You learn to label chest tightness, breathing changes, nausea, dizziness, and tension without panic.
Catch the thought
You learn the exact sentence your brain uses to turn discomfort into danger.
Change the response
You replace avoidance and reassurance seeking with actions that retrain the nervous system.
Body literacy
You recognize patterns in your sensations. You understand triggers. Your body stops feeling unpredictable.
Clarity
Thought accuracy
You challenge catastrophic interpretations and build alternatives that feel believable.
Calm mind
Exposure with support
You gradually face triggers safely so they lose their power over time.
Confidence
Regulation skills
Grounding, breath, attention training, recovery routines that work in real moments.
Control
Relapse resilience
Stress will happen. You learn how to stabilize without returning to the old baseline.
Stability
More life
You stop living in preparation for danger and start living in the present again.
