How Can I Make The Most Of CBT And Talking Therapy?

sometimes writing things down such as your feelings is a good way to share with your therapist.

you could also jot down some goals that you would like to achieve during therapy. Such as feeling better , Less anxious and more confident in Social situations.

that Way your therapist would be able to come up with some achievable steps to reach that goal or goals .

dont hold anything back. Share as much as you can about what’s going on with your social anxiety.

Your therapist would talk about helping you change unhelpful behaviors, thought distortions, etc. so the more you share the more your therapist can help you.

he or a she will also talk about different coping strategies for the social anxiety.

whatever you learn in therapy, really put that into practice when you go home. The really important part of all this is taking action!

We can learn a lot of information but if we don’t put it into action we are not going to improve. When we put things into action that we have learned over and over again, it actually retrains the brain to make the new information a habit !!

and that is when real change happens!there is an actual bio chemical change that occurs in the brain!

good luck! Stay in therapy even when you start to feel better. Take care ❤
