Had my assessment today

[AngieJ]

I had my assessment for therapy today with a lovely lady.
She is referring me for CBT but says that the waiting list is quite long although I will probably be able to start a 6 week 'Introduction to CBT' course in the new year.

In the meantime she suggested that I attend a couple of groups held weekly...'Anxiety Management' and 'Panic Relief', apparently I could start these as early as next month if a place comes up.

She's also recommended that I take part in one of the activity groups to get used to being around other people again and also to get some 'Me' time.
I was a bit daunted by the word 'group' but apparently there are just 3 or 4 of you.

Just wondered if anyone else had attended anything like this and did it help.

Hi Angie,

Haven't had experience of this I'm afraid, but just wanted to wish you all the very best.

Hi Angie

I want to wish you good luck too hun , i have been on a anxiety management course, i found it really helpful, got some good advice and lots of useful information to bring home, it was good to meet people who suffered with anxiety too, i dont no what it was but everytime i did a course which involved anxiety i always felt at ease amongst them i think its because we where all in the same boat and understood each others feelings.

Im sure the course will be good for you, it certainly helped me.

Let us know how things go

Love

Andrea
