Hi all,

I've been seeing a hynotherapist for the last few weeks to try and combat some of the symptoms of my anxiety. Although it worked for me a few years ago it seems to be ineffective now because the symptoms are far more severe.

I saw a T last week who has referred me to CBT. Not something i've tried before. Im not entirely sure how CBT works.

My question is has anybody used CBT as a remedy for chronic anxiety? And do the sessions combat the physical symptoms such as tremors, trembling and aches and pains? I understand that the physical symptoms are connected to the general anxiety, but it feels like they have a life of their own at the moment, coming and going at will. It used to be the anxiety that occured first which then brought on the physical effects. It seems that now the physical symptoms happen first which then brings on anxiety.

Thanks in advance
