"I tried this a few years ago, wasn't referred by GP I may add. It was very different but in a good way only went for a few sessions mainly due to the cost. Did it help me ? In some ways yes, not sure what I expected but went with an open mind... Can't imagine what you're going through after Afganistan but it's worth giving it a go, just be open minded x" Thankyou I will go this time I just don't like the idea of a therapist am not sure why. The first time I turned it down I thought " am a big man I can handle this " 3 years later and nothing's changed  | |||

"Yeh both of us have had it and it does work, although with me (mrs) because of my condition I do occasionally have to go back for top up sessions Do you mind if I ask what was it you go for? Anxiety ?" I suffer with borderline personality disorder so suffer with bouts of severe depression and anxiety, it's possibly linked to childhood abuse. But it's been several months and I haven't had an episode and I think it is due to the CBT (the good news is with my condition i can be cured!). It's very daunting at first but you get used to going in fact I started to look forward to it. | |||

"Hello everyone iv been referred to a CBT therapist, I was referred after I came back from Afghanistan but I shat it! Any one done this CBT therapy before? Does it work?" OP the first smart thing you have done is talk about it! Which means you are facing it- possibly the most difficult thing at the beginning. You have everything to gain by taking the next step and attending an appointment so give yourself a break, and good luck with it xx | |||

"I know a few people who have done it. Some it worked brilliantly, some it didn't. It wasn't the CBT fault, they thought just going through the motions would do it." This. CBT is one of the most effective psychological therapies around, but for it to work the patient has to commit to it. | |||

Yes I agree you have to be brutally honest and open with your therapist for it to be effective. | |||

"I'd like to try it, wouldn't know where to start first though got so many issues!" they dont resolve your issues but they help how you can change the way you deal with things. Also there are other talking therapies. if you sat and was honest with someone they would natch you with the one most suitable | |||

"Hello everyone iv been referred to a CBT therapist, I was referred after I came back from Afghanistan but I shat it! Any one done this CBT therapy before? Does it work?" I had CB therapy for PTSD following some incidents in the ambulance service. To be honest, I found it useless because the counsellor was unable to identify with any of the situations I'd encountered. It was more of a rather patronising professional "there there" situation. If you need therapy for the Afghanistan thing, try and get an appointment with a therapist who has a military background. You might also be better off with a male counsellor. | |||

I definitely need some help with dealing with things. My thought process is fucked. | |||

"CBT is great. However it's very much like covering a severe wound with a plaster. It provides immediate relief and safety, but but doesn't fix the wound. And like a plaster, you need to keep refreshing it. It helps you manage and control the emotions from whatever deep rooted issues you may have,, however it's flaw is that it doesn't delve into the issue, help you understand it, come to terms with it and put closure to it.. Sadly CBT is the default therapy therapists fall back on because of its speed and quick results and lack of drain on resources, and as such, whilst it's a valuable method, it is often used in the wrong way when more appropriate and effective methods could be used." What other methods would they be and if after having cbt and they found other things would they then refer you to these other methods? | |||

My first therapist wasn't qualified enough to go deep enough so I then went to another which did post traumatic stuff. Have a look at the website mindfulness,, x | |||

Normally CBT is just what they offer initially. After one learns to manage emotions and challenge thought processes to feel better, it is always advised to move on to counselling to tackle the root cause of most problems one has. | |||

What other methods would they be and if after having cbt and they found other things would they then refer you to these other methods?" There's a number of techniques, however on the NHS it's rare that these will be explored further after having CBT, mainly due to resources, waiting lists etc etc. Even those under the age of 18 who have a dedicated mental health service (CAMHS) can wait anywhere between 8-18 months to be seen. And even then it's sporadic. The only time it's sped up our explored further is if you prove a major risk to others. | |||
