Keeping a Diary

In CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) clients are often recommended to record their anxious thoughts and their daily activities in a diary.

This can help to distance you from the experience of anxiety or depression if you are feeling negative and it can also give you a more objective record of how your day goes - of any good points as well as the negative things that you may have a tendency to focus on if you are feeling stressed or down.

Is there a Cure for Anxiety?

If you experience severe anxiety or panic, it may be natural for you to wonder 'Is there a cure for anxiety?'

However, anxiety serves a useful evolutionary function - if you had no anxiety at all you would never be alert to dangers.

Dealing with anxiety is not about finding a magic bullet or getting rid of anxiety altogether.

It is about putting your anxiety in perspective and balancing anxious thoughts that are not warranted by the situation you are in.

How do you do this?
