š§ Understanding When Anxiety Becomes a Disorder - With CBT Therapist Lex Hristova
In this video, we explore the difference between everyday worry and Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). While worry is a normal part of life, GAD involves persistent, excessive, and hard-to-control worry that can feel overwhelming and impact daily functioning. The discussion looks at how chronic worry becomes maintained through cognitive and behavioural patterns, why reassurance and āoverthinkingā can keep anxiety stuck, and how CBT helps individuals break free from the cycle with structured, evidence-based strategies designed to build tolerance of uncertainty and regain a sense of control.
Lex Hristova is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist registered with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) as an MBABCP practitioner. She has extensive experience delivering evidence-based CBT interventions for anxiety disorders, panic disorder, health anxiety, and related difficulties across clinical settings. Her work is grounded in structured, formulation-led CBT, helping clients understand the cognitive and physiological mechanisms underpinning anxiety and develop practical, skills-based strategies for long-term change.
