    l have social aniexty and am thinking about doing some CBT.

    Has anyone ever used this & did it make any difference?

    Would anyone recommend it for social aniexty?

    Is it even worth it as l believe its a bit pricey...

    Any advice would be great.

    Expensive but worth it. I've met literally dozens of people who were my friends but never mentioned they suffered from any form of anxiety. When they told me, each of them has sworn by CBT. Apparently it takes a while but you can't argue with the results.

    You could try this site out. I know it mentions that
    it's for depression but could be helpful. And it's free :)

    of five modules, an interactive game, anxiety and depression assessments, downloadable relaxation
    audio, a workbook and feedback assessment.

    therapy – a proven treatment for depression. It also demonstrates the relationship between
