Anxiety or Fears
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.

Safer Spaces Therapy Services, LLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in treating anxiety and fears using a combination of psychodynamic, interpersonal, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR approaches. Anxiety can manifest as excessive worry, restlessness, racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath. These methods help clients understand the underlying issues contributing to their anxiety, improve their relationships, and develop effective coping strategies to reduce symptoms and enhance overall well-being.

Ryan Holliman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
our anxiety is like checking the fridge, even though you know there’s nothing there. The logical part of you knows it’s illogical to worry about this stuff, but you keep returning to being anxious. It’s just exhausting being this anxious all the time. You find yourself turning to friends and families to soothe your anxieties, but it’s a short-term fix, and you generally find your way back to worrying pretty soon. It’s gotten to a point where you can’t imagine a life without your anxiety. People around you seem to getting frustrated with your anxiety. It’s like you were born with a different default setting than everyone else.
I believe that when it comes to anxiety, the problem isn’t that you worry too much. It’s that you don’t worry enough in the right way. I provide you with practical experience in how to worry correctly, what to do when the incorrect kind of worry visits you, and how to defuse and tame the anxiety that you’ve been living with for so long.
You can tame your anxieties. Your life doesn’t have to be defined by your worries. Start spending your life enjoying your friends and the world around you, instead of waiting for the next attack of anxiety to visit. Feel relief that you didn’t think was possible. Call me today to schedule a free initial 15-minute consultation.
