Are you consumed with negative thoughts? Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a very effective treatment for anxiety. It is based on the premise that our thoughts influence our feelings which influence our actions It is often not situations but our interpretations that lead to the negative emotions but yet we jump so fast from event to emotion that we don't necessarily even recognize this. This approach does require some effort and practice but over time it is very effective for easing your anxiety.
