So I've been seeing a therapist for awhile now about my social anxiety, and she has been working with me on some CBT techniques for taking on anxious thoughts.

The problem is, when I have anxiety, I'm not really thinking anything specific.

It's not like "They're going to judge me," but it's just the physical feelings that are automatic.

I freeze up, get awkward, shake, feel sick to my stomach, etc.

This can happen just from making eye contact with someone, so I usually just look down.

But no thoughts come up. Just an instant feeling of panic.

Can CBT help with this?

There are other times when I have been able to identify thoughts that may be causing my anxiety, but challenging them just feels like I'm lying to myself.

I could really use some help with what to try next if anyone has any advice. 

I feel really stuck and kind of hopeless since it was so hard to convince myself to do therapy and it hasn't really gotten me anywhere.
