How to use this site:
The following pages will teach you the techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, specifically as they are used to treat anxiety disorders. The techniques have been grouped into “styles” to make them easier to navigate and find.
Generally speaking, you should try all of the techniques on this site at least once (unless you have a strong aversion to one or more of them). Whichever of the techniques work best for you the first time you try them, will probably end up being the best. After trying the techniques on this site, you should end up with at least three or four that work really well for you.

Which Style should I start with?
You will find all of the styles listed on the next page. Most people try them in order (Yoga, then Logic, then Berserker, then Communication). However, if you have a strong affinity for a particular style, start with that one instead. It will probably end up being the best fit for you.
When should I use the techniques?
The techniques on this site are meant to be used in the moment, when you are already feeling anxious. Each of them is designed to be quick, and, with a little practice, most of them can be done in front of people without them even noticing.
