YES-CBT: In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented. In addition, patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.

Avoidant Personality: WSure, anxiety is a reason you wish to avoid things and if it spreads to many parts of life it becomes your personality or style. Try to limit it and hopefully reverse it. It's not easy, bu w/ a therapist you trust - like a coach - it is possible and sooooo worth it! Best!
