I’m a big believer in this. Many years ago I had crippling social anxiety and could barely leave my house for weeks on end.

What saved me was a six month program of individual and group exercises to overwrite the toxic and destructive lessons of my life which had created certain core beliefs which were destroying my ability to function.

This was not conventional psychotherapy. It was a structured program to rewrite and overwrite neural pathways in my brain, using language, physical behavior and written journaling.

It worked. I perform many of the therapeutic exercises to this day to preempt depression and anxiety.

The key to any successful program is Divine help. Surrender to the One who created you. This is how I have survived over the decades, knowing God had my back, if I let Him.

Great article! Thank you!
