1.

The therapy teaches the person to recognize the thoughts, objects, situations, and images that results in anxious obsession and help you figure out the ways to avoid the compulsive rituals associated with the obsession. It is a short-term therapy and involves 10-20 visits with a therapist. CBT treatment for anxiety may include:

• Physical relaxation technique

• Evaluation of problematic ways of thinking

• Gradual exposure to the feared stimuli

• Mindful techniques


2. The psychotherapy involves meeting with the health professional and identifying the problem and working through it. The experts use a combination of strategies to manage anxiety.
