Cognitive therapy

Yeah I'm doing my therapists version of it at the moment (so very similar).

So far I'm finding it pretty good, it gives me the tools to help change my mindset and cope with situations I wouldn't normally be able to cope with which is the whole idea of it...to change how you view things and therefore how you deal with things.

It can be better than meds so I've been told but I couldn't comment on that as it is still early days for me.

I'm not sure what else to tell you so any questions just ask.

Yup, I did it for 5 months to help me deal with depression/stress/relationships. At the time, I was always thinking "this will never work", but it really did. I saw my psychologist every fortnight, probably 8 times in total, and it was totally worth the money. I still find myself reverting to my previous thinking in some situations, but can usually overcome it. The trigger was that we planned a holiday and every holiday I'd had for the last 4 years, I'd always got sick from stress. This one, 4 weeks in Asia, I was in really good health. I had one "bad day" where I withdrew from DH (which was always my coping mechanism for stress) but that was way better than it had been.

for me CBT(for OCD) really really worked and if it wasn't $130 a session(have to have a specialist:( ) I would be still going..
