Re: CBT - Am I missing the point?
Hi Freaky (yes, I've officially left, but no one will delete my account).
My experience of CBT was the same as yours. I understand rationally why I behave as I do but knowing that doesn't help me control my behaviour.
I think CBT probably works quite well for people who aren't naturally introspective or haven't read up on psychology etc. And people whose problems perhaps aren't that severe. I can't begin with it.
I need something that addresses my unconscious mind, not my conscious mind. I'm still looking. With increasing desperation.
Bestest,
F
