Treating nervous behavior doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg joining a special anxiety-based institute, or waste your precious time with psychotherapy. For one thing, analyzing to death your past may not get you anywhere. Rehashing your old memories may do more harm than good. You can go over and over again what happened to you as a child or young adult that forced anxiety and nervous behavior onto you, but it will not cure it. More often than not, knowing “why” is not enough. To get treatment for nervous behavior , one would have to look into their current thinking patterns and learn to change them, not analyze how they got them in the first place.

Treatment for nervous behavior:

One popular method to provide treatment for nervous behavior is cognitive based therapy. It is likely the only traditional method used by psychologists to treat nervous behavior, anxiety, and panic that actually works. It is the only method psychologists use to help change the thought patterns of the anxiety sufferer. Most other methods try to dig through the patient's history. Digging into your history is definitely not a guarantee that that you will erase your personal history forever, or learn to properly deal with it. Cognitive based therapy will force you to question the way you think about the world around you. You will learn to react differently to your causes of stress, hopefully in a more positive manner.

While cognitive based therapy does usually require a trained psychologist to assist you, the effects it brings occur are on a much shorter time span than traditional psychotherapy-type sessions. So it won't cost nearly as much as psychotherapy. Nervous treatment shouldn't take a lifetime to recover from, nor should it cost more than you could ever afford to pay.

Thankfully, there is a way that is even cheaper, and that's the DIY (do it yourself) method. They are a few books on the market that allow you to give yourself all the benefits of cognitive based therapy, but without the psychologist and without the financial turmoil. Such books make you ask questions about your current predicament, and make you ask questions about the thought processes that put you in such predicaments.
