How it works
Cognitive restructuring challenges catastrophic thinking patterns. Exposure exercises extinguish fear responses through habituation and updated threat learning.
Requires a qualified therapist or validated digital programme (Woebot, Daylight, Silvercloud). Exposure exercises cause temporary discomfort — that is the mechanism.
Hundreds of RCTs across all anxiety subtypes. CBT is considered the most evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, with effects that outlast medication.
