Any positive stories about CBT?

[Megan99]

I have decided to go with CBT for my anxiety. I was wondering if anyone had any positive stories to share about CBT and if it has helped them. So far, I have actually found a lot of negative stories about CBT but have decided to go with it anyway after much research. So if anybody has any positive CBT experiences or advice, please let me know!
Thanks!

Hi Megan
I have done a couple of goes-round of CBT and I did find it helpful - I'm sure many others on the site can attest to that, too. I realised how many of my thoughts fit unhelpful styles which were keeping me bogged down in my own head, and being able to get out of those patterns was really good.
Good luck!

If you have the energy you an read through my story.

CBT was great for me, not completely anxiety free but i hate to think how bad i would have got without it. I am actually going for a top up session a week on Friday as I can feel some old habits/worries coming back in.

You do get out of it what you put in, so really helpful for you to take a note book for writing things down if required.
