Sundog,
I'll be happy to explain further, but first let me say that I do not offer these things to offend, only what I know through the experience of myself and others! First let me add, That seventy-five% of people with anxiety disorder are affected by depression, and when the symptoms of the disorder lessen or end , so does the depression! To expand what you said about it does not work for everybody, whenever someone has (CBT) Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, the end result ( is) a Cognitive Shift! There are those who are not helped because of denial or disbelief that it will not work for them, the solution is simple, but there has to be conviction and the understanding of this disorder to work! Sometimes medication helps ease the symptoms, but not for others like myself. You have my apology if you find my words offensive!!
Thanks for reading my post!!

Clearly your "Cognitive Shift" technique has worked for you, and it may well work for others. That is all well and good. But it does not work for everybody.
Furthermore, you are not me, and you cannot presume to know what will work for me. Please speak for yourself and not for me.
