I was in a cbt group and it has helped me immensely. If you can join one I would highly recommend it. If not there are lots of good books on cbt you could get. One of the ones we used in my group has a really good introduction to the whole process called Been there, done that? do this! by sam obitz. The tea form exercise in that book has helped me a ton and I still do them all the time when I get upset or anxious. Best of luck to you and try cbt one way or the other
Amazon seems to be out of stock of that Obitz book. Can you tell me where else to find it? I sure hope you see this message.
I can't remember the author, but when I was first diagnosed with Agoraphobia I read a book called Living Fear Free. It helped me understand myself a lot better.

There are several techniques recomended to deal with anxiety.The following are the alternitive ways.Recovery from an anxiety disorder is a journey for many of us. A treatment approach often involves a variety of methods from self-help to therapy to medication to alternatives. Cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, white noise, biofeedback, and hypnotherapy are also suggested for the treatment of anxiety disorder. Alternative treatment such as acupuncture, and yoga, are also used in the treatment of anxiety disorder.

Shallow breathing may lead to increased anxiety and even panic attacks; some people theorize that improper breathing is the entire cause of panic attacks. In any case, learning proper breathing will help too. Spending time in nature reduce stress and anxiety. Environmental psychologists believe our surroundings influence our mental health. I hope this info helped you.
