The psychiatrist I am going to see has his own website and seems a really nice bloke, very qualified and he specialises in CBT, so I am looking forward to it now.

I have just remembered something that might be useful for those of you who are struggling to get CBT on the NHS, and are finding private fees expensive.
Member of the Phobics Society, which covers anxiety, panic and OCD are entitled to reduced rate consulations with designated therapists in their area. This includes counselling and CBT. (Check first before you join - some areas are very sp****ly populated with relevant professionals).
The membership fee is only £12.00 per year, it is primarily a charity based organisation. Members also get a reduced rate on book and tape purchases and other benefits. There is also the opportunity to join local self help groups, and take part in research.
The web site address is www.phobics-society.org.uk/
Hope this may help some of you struggling to get treated!

Re: CBT Questions
The book that I have is the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies (ISBN: 978-0-470-01838-5).
Anyone that's waiting to see a proper practitioner can use this book.
I did.
Don't need any pills!!!

Re: CBT Questions
Just got my NHS referral confirmed today via CMHT. I was told it should be through in a few weeks now. Considering my GP only referred me 4 weeks ago, I think that's pretty good. He did say the NHS was making CBT more available now and that there should be shorter waiting lists.
