Current Anxious Situation Tracking
-
Background: Current anxious situation tracking is an advanced CBT technique that involves identifying current anxious situations directly related to the anxiety disorder or issue you are seeking help for. The goal of this process is to recognize what your scary assumptions currently look like during anxious moments.
-
How this helps with treatment: By identifying current scary assumptions, you and Dr. Nabors can gain insight into the underlying beliefs that contribute to your anxiety. These insights will later be used to uncover the subconscious core beliefs that drive the anxious behaviors maintaining your chronic anxiety.
Data Saturation
-
Background: Data saturation is when you have collected enough information so that new data no longer provides new or different insights. It means you’ve gathered enough details that further data doesn’t change what you already know.
-
How this helps with treatment: It is important to understand what all of your relevant scary assumptions looks like related to your reasons for seeking help. By continuing to collect current scary assumptions, we can get a more complete picture of what the majority of your scary assumptions look like.
