CBT and Health Anxiety

Welcome to the CBT and Health Anxiety page of SB Therapy.

Understanding Health Anxiety

Health anxiety, also known as hypochondria, is a condition characterized by excessive worry and fear about having a serious medical condition. Individuals with health anxiety often interpret normal bodily sensations as signs of illness, leading to heightened distress and frequent visits to healthcare providers.

How CBT Can Help

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a evidence-based treatment approach that can be highly effective in managing health anxiety. By challenging negative thought patterns and beliefs, individuals can learn to cope with their anxiety and reduce the frequency of catastrophic thinking. CBT also helps individuals develop healthier coping strategies and behaviours.
