Document Summary
This is basically the core of all anxiety treatments you must face your fear. Many children with anxiety disorders suffer from more than one type. Moderate amounts of anxiety are adaptive; we act more effectively and cope with potentially dangerous situations. Anxiety is the single most prevalent lifetime disorder, it is the disorder that we are most likely to get. Neurotic paradox if you keep avoiding something you are afraid of, you will never find out whether or not that thing is really scary or not. The anxiety triad: thoughts, physical arousal, and behavior. So, thoughts can affect behavior, but behavior can also elicit thoughts, reciprocal influence. Worry thoughts. e. g. you wave to a friend on other side of street, he doesn"t wave back. If you think that you did something wrong, he hates you, then you have anxious thoughts. If you just think he didn"t see you, then normal, no anxiety.
