Mike Nichols: I just found this site and your wonderful articles. As a one time phobic and now a therapist who works with anxious children and adults, I’ve used exposure therapy on myself and with clients. Other techniques I’ve found extremely helpful come from the work of Dr. Claire Weekes, particularly “floating” and learning how to stop being afraid of the symptoms of anxiety. When one can do that, not care about how anxiety and panic feels–it’s empowering.

I’ll be checking back on this great site regularly.

Regards,
Diane

Excellent post, Michael, thank you. I’m particularly interested in learning about the use of CBT in overcoming anxiety disorders alongside exposure therapy – I’ve done this kind of work on myself supported by Person Centred Counselling and had trouble getting access to a CBT locally. I like the way you’ve described habituation.

Exposure therapy/de-sensitisation training is effective if you are willing to put the work in – and it works with obsessions and OCD too. I was diagnosed with complex OCD just over 5 years ago after suffering in silence with it for over 21 years. Over about 3 years I removed 27 obsessions; 14 phobias; panic attacks and some other intense emotional problems – all using the approach you describe here.

I’m putting a link to this post on my blog.

Regards.
