CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) worked wonders for me. Fortunately, there are a lot of books out there. Find yourself a workbook - preferably a week or day at-a-time. The standard time frame for completion is 12 weeks. Actually do the work - it can be tough - and don't work ahead.
This therapy is not for everyone as it requires a great deal of work (you will require a note book too). It takes dedication and a willingness to improve. Do the work every day.
it should become a lifestyle. Pull out the sheets regularly after you have completed the course. I find that anxiety pops up its ugly head when I have lapsed which it occurs to me I have done now. Time for me to dig out the notebook this morning.
