CBT for Excessive Worry (Generalised Anxiety Disorder or GAD) in Manchester.
Although we all worry to some extent, when worry gets out of control, it can make life unbearable.
The typical profile for a worrier is that they learnt to worry as a child, often between 12 and 14, and suffer without help until their early 30’s. By this time of course, the worry habit has really taken hold.
Basically worriers tend to do two things:
- They over think an uncertain future.
- They underestimate their ability to cope.
Therapy for worry, if nothing else, must tackle these two habits of the worrier. There is a lot more to worry than this, of course, and a careful assessment is vital to help identify the most effective strategy for change.
