Research has shown it to be effective in the treatment of panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder, among many other conditions. Thought challenging also known as cognitive restructuring is a process in which you challenge the negative thinking patterns that contribute to your anxiety, replacing them with more positive, realistic thoughts. This involves three steps:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Identify Negative Thoughts:<\/strong> \u00a0With anxiety disorders, situations are perceived as more dangerous than they really are. To someone with a germ phobia, for example, shaking another person\u2019s hand can seem life threatening. Although you may easily see that this is an irrational fear, identifying your own irrational, scary thoughts can be very difficult. One strategy is to ask yourself what you were thinking when you started feeling anxious. Your therapist will help you with this step.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Challenge Negative Thoughts:<\/strong> \u00a0In the second step, your therapist will teach you how to evaluate your anxiety-provoking thoughts. This involves questioning the evidence for your frightening thoughts, analyzing unhelpful beliefs, and testing out the reality of negative predictions. Strategies for challenging negative thoughts include conducting experiments, weighing the pros and cons of worrying or avoiding the thing you fear, and determining the realistic chances that what you\u2019re anxious about will actually happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Replace Negative Thoughts with Realistic Ones:<\/strong> \u00a0Once you have identified the irrational predictions and negative distortions in your anxious thoughts, you can replace them with new thoughts that are more accurate and positive. Your therapist may also help you come up with realistic, calming statements you can say to yourself when you\u2019re facing or anticipating a situation that normally sends your anxiety levels soaring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To understand how thought challenging works in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestpsychiatristindelhi.com\/diseases.html\">cognitive behavioral therapy<\/a>, consider the following example: Maria won\u2019t take the subway because she\u2019s afraid she\u2019ll pass out, and then everyone will think she\u2019s crazy. Her therapist has asked her to write down her negative thoughts, identify the errors or cognitive distortions in her thinking, and come up with a more rational interpretation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most widely-used therapy for anxiety disorders.
