Abstract
The increasing prevalence of anxiety disorders is closely linked to rising social pressures. This paper examines the role of traditional and emerging psychotherapy in anxiety disorders, focusing on the characteristics of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Music Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is designed to help people with anxiety disorders improve core beliefs and correct bad emotions, while Music Therapy helps patients awaken positive emotions and relieve anxiety symptoms. From the perspective of the characteristics of the two treatment methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tends to completely solve the patients' wrong cognition, which reduces the possibility of patients' disease recurrence; from the perspective of art, Music Therapy provides patients with a good rehabilitation environment, moreover, patients feel happy and have more motivation to change their thinking and behaviors. Based on HAMA, STAI, and PSOI, the data showed that anxiety patients experienced reduced anxiety levels and improved sleep quality and quality of life after receiving both therapies. This study provides valuable insights into the unique benefits of CBT and Music Therapy, helping therapists and patients make informed decisions regarding the most suitable treatment options for reducing anxiety.
