Thread: Are you entitled to one-to-one CBT on the NHS in the UK?

    Re: Are you entitled to one-to-one CBT on the NHS in the UK?

    going to buck the trend here and say that:
    group therapy really is the best way to progress, even if you think you need 1 to 1.

    What happens in the group are many unexpected things
    e.g relating to others who have issues, opens your mind
    understanding that at the core: anxiety/depression / compulsion
    all require mindful approaches in order to cope better
    make choices that give you the best chances in life.

    The courses are structured to intoduce topics like WRAP plans
    and go into an analysis of the mind body emotions physiology
    when we are stressed / depressed/ anxious and so on.
    The tools you learn from these groups are of high value.

    And the icing on the cake is , its possible to complete a whole course
    without ever once referring to your particular personal issues in the group
    That you do do on a 1 to 1 with your key worker

    group work is like going on a journey with strangers and learning|
    how to be a human being again, esp if you've lost touch with yourself.

    I highly recommend groups , even as research shows we learn better
    together, sharing experiences and understanding benefits tremendously.

    Clearly it isn't for everyone, however that needs
    to be discovered after group work is attempted and not before

    I think group work has its benefits. Its social for one and can break down tensions where others show they are in the same situations.

    I wouldn't discount it and I would be very happy thesedays to have it. Initially I pushed for CBT on a 1-2-1 basis because I didn't want to share my problems with others. I was still a bit skeptical when I joined the charity walk-in groups on the advice of my therapist but after a while I began to see some real benefits to it and kept going for a year until my circumstances changed which prevented me from attended. If I'm honest, I would be on this forum if I had kept attending as they ran sessions to help people move forward as well as courses.
