Well, I did it! I actually really enjoyed my first session.
My Psychologist seems nice, he used to teach for the Open University...so he seems to know what he's talking about.
He asked me a lot of questions...and I began to see how my answers were linked...it was strange. I also found myself linking my thoughts...and how i've managed to form such bad thought patterns based on experiances from my childhood. I also realised how silly these thought patterns were, and that my thoughts were going round in circles....which actually made me laugh somewhat!
I have another appointment next Wednesday and I feel quite positive about it...we'll see.
Can I just ask others who've had CBT, when did you start keeping a diary? I was half expecting to come out with a bit of homework after everything I've read, but nothing yet. I suppose this comes later on?
Thanks everyone for the support before I went, it helped a lot.
