Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also used to assist the client in changing negative thought patterns and exposure therapy is also used to overcome the avoidance of situations causing anxiety.

There are unconscious patterns that play a role in one’s ability to make choices that will take them from where they are, to where they want to be.
