Better than psychodynamic but that"s not saying much . The stuff that you are doing that is bad for you. Focus on changing dysfunctional cognitions - bad habits of thinking. Learn to perceive things in a different manner. Not stereotypical therapy of sitting on couch and talk to therapist. More like the therapist is teaching you how to look at things differently. Learn to break the link between activating conditions and maladaptive emotional. Maladaptive emotional reaction is to get mad at someone who is doing. You need to learn to not get emotional when you see something you don"t like something stupid while you are driving reactions while you are driving. Determine and then change the symptom and stimuli or thoughts associated. Coupled with cognitive control of fear reaction. Reward and punishment techniques - mostly rewards. If you successfully watch a video of snake you will get cake.
