As any psychotherapist will tell you, individuals with extreme anxiety issues have a lot of irrational beliefs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapists try to help their clients replace negative, irrational beliefs with more rational and positive beliefs.
If you have anxiety issues, you have to challenge your beliefs. And if you challenge your own belief system, you can replace those beliefs that help keep you way too nervous with beliefs that help make you calm.
However, while seeing a therapist, you also have to challenge the beliefs and arguments the counselor has and is making. If you find that the positive beliefs the therapist has are more rational than yours are, then that can help you to calm down and better manage your anxieties.
But if you don't find the therapist's arguments to be more rational than yours, and if you don't think the therapist's advice is helpful, than you have the option of moving on to a new counselor, if you want.
I used to have bad anxieties. But with the help of psychiatric medication and a therapist who helped me challenge my beliefs and gave what I felt was good advice, I am now much calmer and happier.
If I can do it, so can you.
