Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the best treatment for most forms of anxiety disorders. Basically, most anxiety disorders involve avoidance on the part of the individual. That is, the individual avoids feared situations, very often due to cognitive distortions / errors such as catastrophising etc. The individual must consciously decide against using avoidance, then manage the physical sensations of anxiety and the automatic negative thoughts that arise. Over time, the exposure to social situations without the feared adverse consequences will result in reduced anxiety.
