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

Definitely CBT is used all the time for anxiety/panic. My current T uses it and they have many practical steps for combating anxiety such as progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises, all kinds of things that can cut down/reduce need for medications.
Good luck!
