Has anyone here had this therapy? I have just had two sessions so very early days. I had Cognitive Behavioural therapy several years ago but I did not seem to gain much benefit, but that may have been because at the time I was on medication and i do not seem to remember taking much in.. My doctor suggested CAT as i suffer from bouts of extreme anxiety and have very poor coping abilities..I recognize/understand where all my fears etc have come from but desperately want to learn how to deal with things in a different and more positive way and as i understand it CAT is able to achieve this...I would just be interested to know if anyone else out there had experienced this therapy and had had postive results...

Hi

How did your CAT therapy go in the end? I had it a few years ago and it was really tough. But i saw results about 6months later and i still use some of the tricks and practices I learnt.
