Hi all
I've had bad health anxiety now for about a year and been worrying about everything from stomach and lung and oesophagus cancer to chemicals in paint and furniture and shower gel and just about everything else!
I started having talking therapy about 9 weeks ago and don't feel like I'm getting anywhere at all. The therapist seems to think all the anxiety is being triggered by something and we need to find out what. The therapist is a nice guy and it's all very relaxed and sort of comforting but within a few hours of walking out of there nothing's changed again. I'm getting so depressed as I feel like it's making me worse not better because of the frustration of going round in circles.
Would cbt be better? Do I need to find out what triggered it?
I wondered if anyone else had had this problem with talking therapy.
Thanks
