Hi guys,
First of all thank you to those who replied you good wishes are much appreicated.
I'm feeling okish about starting the CBT still a little nervous but I'm hoping that will disappear once it starts.
Anyway i thougt i'd post up what exactly CBT is or at least what the NO more panic CBT involves for those of you who are intrested in possibly doing it at some point so here goes...( get comfy this is going to take a while)
Ok first of all you get a form from no more panic you fill it it then return it of course and then your on a 4-6 week waiting list,
It took about a month before i got a phone call from nopanic he gave me a date and time and asked if that was ok for me, once i agreed the notes i am going to need where posted i recieved then a few days later.
Now what was on these notes i hear you ask, well give me a minute i'm going to tell you!!
I am doing group cbt so the first page tells me who is going to be on my group there are 6 people including me,all female and all suffering the same type of symptoms, it also tells you how to use the teleconfrencing which sounds quite odd at first to be honest.
As the group runs for 14 weeks there are diffrent tasks for each week it builds up slowly step by step(which is good because i was terrified they were going to tell me to go to the supermarket on my first week!!)
You are also give tips and advice on how to keep the conversation flowing and goals to set yourself so all in all it does't look to scary.
Oh and i had to laugh in the back of your notes it says that the group leader can ,well lead ,if the group does't have a natural leader, the first though that came to my head was i hope i can be quiet enough to not to get allocated the "natural leader" position!!
Right thats enough of me rattling on i hope i explained that ok.
Ok bye thanks for listening.
