Congratulations on seeing a CBT therapist - you are on the right track. There are 26 different CBT strategies - I use about 8 of them frequently. The two biggies are examining dysfunctional self-talk and getting things into perspective. Your partner can help you with both and as you learn more CBT strategies from your therapist you will have excellent skills to deal with your anxiety.

Best wishes
