I am curently on my second course of CBT and it is going well. I started my first sessions early last year, but I wasn't in a great place mentally so didn't really take much in. However this time it is a lot better and I have a great CBT theraphist.

Good luck xxx

You need to work hard with CBT because you're training yourself to think differently, so you will be changing the way you live your life. I have been to a CBT qualified counsellor before and I found the talking therapy helped to relieve stress and anxiety, but I didn't have the willpower to do all the things we discussed. So the counselling side of it worked for me but I didn't put any real effort into the CBT side.

What helped the most was putting my problems in perspective -- nothing seems as bad when you actually look at it without flinching.

If you can motivate yourself, you should find it helps.

I tried CBT about 4yrs ago first time i had tried it and i was all set to do it went to 3 apps but I knew i couldn't comit as my head was in wrong space and i knew i would have to work hard on it. So i left it, its something know i need to see about again as I need to be able to move on from some things and have things in my head that will maybe help me in future, this couseller i will be seeing next week re my anxiety does a bit of it with the anxiety. But i have so much else going on in my head that i will have to see what happens. Most people i know who have done it have found it be of good use to them even though i can seem like hard work and they keep on using it when things are around for them. Why i want to re look at doing some more. Good luck if you do and keep us updated on it
