have them talk with a therapist to see what the problem may be, they may be able to releive it with cognitive therapy or if it's really bad and nothing seems to help maybe meds may be an option.

Your best bet is to speak to a psychoanalyst. Unlike like normal psychologist and doctors who use CBT which is what I use fro treatment with bipolar disorder. They are more concerned with resolving past issues in order to work back up. My experience with CBT  has been talking about the past but dealing with my present issues and not dealing a lot with what the source was from my past. however when i went to a psychoanalyst, she had me start from childhood and find the root of the problems it's causing me now. try looking on the National institute for Mental health's website for more information and also if you have insurance look on their website to find a Doctor that may offer this sort of therapy or call them directly

I have this same problem. However, I use both therapy and medication. Not just for this reason, but it helps. However, you simply just have to train yourself to do otherwise. You have to train your mind to think a certain way. This may conflict with your personality, but everytime you have that feeling of paranoia, you have to conciously reassure yourself that what you're paranoid of just isn't true. You have to force yourself to think otherwise. It's difficult. But you can do it if you honestly put a lot of effort into it.

How is it that "things we say to ourselves" is genetic?  It is a little more then that.  \n\n"because we interpret a stimuli as threatening"...well, yes.  Externally, anxiety can be triggered. \n\n"more important than the actual stimuli?" Of course it is.  You look at fire and you can think...get burn...or you can think it as a tool.  We all have automatic thoughts.  Those who suffer with anxiety do associate a thought, word, object, e.t.c. with a negative and threatening value.\n\nA. Not be able to recognize their automatic thoughts and decode them(in which cognitive behavioral therapy would help)\n\nor...\n\nB. Have a few neurotransmitter out of whack and need action therapy.\n\nBTW, in most cases, action therapy only works with some other form of therapy applying the idea of reconditioning the thought process.  \n\nNature/Nurture...is that your real argument?

Currently, anti-psychotic medication and behavioral modification treatment are the best options. 'Do-it-yourself' strategies rarely if ever work. Try www.crazymeds.com for more information on a peer to peer level, with links to mental health topics and terminology.

The answer to your question is not easy. Some therapists use a limited approach (ie. only interpersonal, focused on your relationships with others.) In my opinion, CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) is often successful if other approaches have failed. \n\nI am the maintainer of a portal called http://health.wikispaces.com that is helping to answer (I hope) precisely these kinds of questions. It is Invitation-Only, so that it is not open to misinformation. (people who can access the site can also edit it to add their own research, and experiences.)\n\nThe answer to your question is that depending on the reason you are seeking psychotherapy, different methods will work best.\n\nI think this is really a multistep question, so I am going to give you some sources of information and then ask you to come back for a follow-up.\n\nWebMD.com, using experts from the Cleveland clinic (WebMD uses different sources, some of which are not very comforting), has a detailed article on psychotherapy I highly recommend:\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/60/67128.htm\n\nI am going to add to this. The first thing you should discuss with any therapist is what brought you to see them, and what your goals are, and also billing. Insurance will often cover up to a certain amount; some therapists or social workers (both do therapy to some degree) work on a sliding pay scale (ie. they negociate on rate you pay.)\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/60/67128.htm\n\nMy local counselor here at Earlham College in Richmond, IN says that eclectic therapists are the best -- ie. the ones that can use any approach that seems helpful. (She has a Masters in Social Work.) \n\nTherapists vary. Some are really good and give you specific directed guidance. Techniques are being researched all the time. I just saw a really good article on 'resellience therapy' which sounded really cool. (If you are interested, I will provide you with the link.)\n\nLet me know how I  can best assist you!\n\n--Sam, journalist and healer of myself

You become tolerant of the effects so you may need a review of either dose or drug.  I had clinical depression for a number of years and was on 225mgs of amitripyline daily (a massive dose!!).  I started having Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and over the next couple of months I felt well enough to bein a planned decrease in meds.  It took 6 months but I did it and it was the theapy which allowed it to happen.  I have not had any problems now for several years.  CBT becomes a way of life, and a way of dealing with the first signs of depression...ask to be referred for treatment.  I recommend it...;

Try Confidence Club.com, the cds they sell may be useful, either that or try a confidence coach, maybe even some counselling.  I know exactly how you feel and I have tried all the "positive thinking" techniques but sometimes you do need a little help.

EFT would almost certainly help - it's brilliant for people who suffer from all kinds of phobeas and panic attacks.  Find out more about it from www.emofree.com - you can order the DVDs and learn to do it yourself from home (it's very cheap), or see if you can find a practitioner in your area who can visit you.  Good luck!

I would use behavioral therapy.  Basically you learn how to teach your child how to not have separation anxiety.

I know a lot of people with anxiety, and it almost sounds like you are experiencing an early stage of it.  Depending on how bad it gets, and you are the judge of that (Are you tensing up ALL the time?  Or some of the time in certain situations?  Does it prevent you from normal activity or keep you from getting things done?), I would suggest seeing a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.  They can work wonders, especially early.  It involves no medication.  They simply give you exercises and techniques to lessen / take away that anxiety and tension.  You probably wouldn't even need to see someone more than 3-6 months, depending on how early / severe the situation is.

I've done it with my therapist before. And yes, it does work. Slowly but surely. It takes time. But it trains your unconscience mind to think in ways you never thought possible. It is worth a try. seriously. What have you got to lose. I am doing much better in my therapy because of it. I've been doing it for about a year now. You'll see results too i'm sure, but you just need to be patient. if you want to talk to me about it i'm here to listen. you can email me or IM me if you want. I can tell you about my experience with it.
