How to Treat Anxiety and OCD

In cognitive behavior therapy, what we're asking patients to do is confront their fears. What a patient with anxiety and OCD doesn't understand is that the fear is irrational. And therefore, you have to engage with the fear in order to learn that it is irrational. The problem is that we don't allow ourselves the opportunities to engaging with the fear. So believing in the process, believing in your own ability, believes in your therapist are some of the most key ingredient to success in treatment.
