CBT

Hey guys,

carrying on from the previous cbt thread. It doesn't seem to be working...its been almost six months. I had two months of being on track but then I dropped off and ended up worse than the start. I have said to my counselor I feel like we're wasting time. She said we could take a break until the fall, but I felt like saying a break from what? She hasn't mentioned any other things that she could offer. I dunno if I should stick it out of just let it go? At the sametime, I'm scared to be alone with myself and don't want to truck along without her. Thoughts?

Ask her what alternatives there are? If you say you don't think that it's working, but you still need the support they should be able to offer you something else in the mean time. x

hmmm.... sorry you're having a tough time with it.

i'm just going to point this out, and you may already know this and be doing it... but cbt, as with some other therapies like dbt only work if you are applying what you're working on to your life, its not like you can go to the appt, and talk about stuff there, and learn stuff, and then leave and not think about it again until the next appt and it will work.
