My understanding is that CBT therapy for some anxiety disorders involves learning to tolerate the anxiety. However, CBT therapy for other anxiety disorders involves minimizing the anxietys. So, I think your therapist should have valuable input about what is appropriate for YOU. If there is some confusion, maybe your T and pdoc can touch base w/ each other to help make the best decision for your situation.
Another thing to consider is if you have depression along with your anxiety. This may call for a different approach than anxiety alone.
Unfortunately, my thoughts on this matter are academic and not from my personal experiences. Sorry. Good luck to you.
Best,
EE
