CBT for anxiety

Hey Has anyone found that the suggested treatment for anxiety is CBT. I do actually rate CBT for anxiety however most of it is normal life for me. I've spent my whole life managing anxiety. I'm also very rational and prioritize those anxieties internally. I've been in abusive relationships for most of my life so have never been allowed to be anxious. Externally people think I'm the most outgoing gregarious person. I take more risks than most people would ever imagine. Tolerance of uncertainty isn't an issue I'm cool with that. I'm more scared of the things that have and will happen. I'm out of those relationships now I'm settled and have the most amazing partner who understands me more than I do. He's worried because I'm having anxiety attacks while I'm asleep. He thought they were seizures at first because I will literally stiffen up and he has to really work hard to move me. We don't think they are they happen when I wake up in a panic. I'm just not sure where to go with it. I really don't want to take medication because I've had a bad time with it before
