CBT update

CBT is another issue - this is NOT CBT , it is relaxation/stress control learning sessions.

You are turning down something that you could do in addition to CBT, and not even for any valid reasons to be frank.

Again I was told I would get CBT so they told a lie.

Well, you know what, this isn't the first time you have been told about relaxation methods and that they would help you. You previous psychiatrist said the same, and mentioned videos and stuff. You know, could it possibly be that 'they' think this would be more benefical to you ???

In a nutshell, you aren't going to go and learn relaxation /stress control techniques, even though you know you struggle with relaxation and being stressed, because they 'lied to you'.

Yes absolute garbage all this relaxation non sense. Sure it may help anxiety but for ocd it’s utterly hopeless. I feel let down but I move on. If I have to pay for more CBT so be it atleast I am paying for a service which I feel is beneficial to me.

This has nothing to do with it being a group or anything like that, you have set your mind on something and are unable to even contemplate that 'they' might be offering something useful. YOu've tried CBT a few times, under your own steam, and its failed. However, if you are talking about booking your own CBT, then this could have been additional. I give up. I totally give up. Your mind is entirely shut.

I was told if I do this course I can’t do private CBT that’s what they told me anyway

That makes no sense at all. Nobody can stop you booking anything privately.

I mean two therapies can interfere with each other it’s quite common but I am surprised they would say this given it’s a group course. Funny there is a 15 month waiting list for this yet they offer NHS courses same thing with no waiting time really puzzles me.

It may be best if you ask for some stress control techniques from a private therapist of your choice? Prioritise this area because otherwise there will be too much to take in. You aren't going to accept what is offered to you on the NHS so why not take back control and do some research to find a different therapist from last time and a fresh but concrete approach to managing your anxieties with a definitive area to target?

That's the one I was talking about, when the psychiatrist offered it.
