I did not find cbt useful for me. It actually made things much worse for me. I understand it can help some people.
I see one who ignores and dismisses the anxiety and it has remained constant with her. I tried talking to her about it at the beginning and it was not helpful to talk about it. Now I just don't bother with her. With the other one, she did ask me about it every week, explained stuff and it has lessened when I interact with her.
