harder part of CBT is step one: identifying the bad behaviour.

usually doctors (or partners playing doctors as the case of the article) is too eager to move to action that they completely misses the point and the patient spend years just changing the background. for example, as listed in the article (not saying it was the case there), she wasted years retraining for a job change, when the trigger might have been the job putting her in a situation that triggered childhood trauma. nothing says that the new job won't put her in the same situation trigger but with different ambiance... the immediate improvement may just be the lack of 4 hour commute, which kills even non-anxiety sufferers.

not saying it is wrong or bad. but please, think trhu before any life change. while keeping in mind that at some point a significant life change will be necessary.
