Thanks for those who wrote out about why CBT worked for you! This is very helpful. I am actually interested in this personally but also thinking about doing a study on people's perceptions of different therapies.. so this is really very helpful to me, to see why CBT worked for people. You guys are helping me think more about this (don't worry, I won't share any of your responses with anyone). I wonder about personality differences affecting treatment efficacy, and other factors..

Why, skyliner? Can you talk about what CBT was like for you? Did you like your therapist? How long were you in therapy? Can you describe what it was like to try your CBT skills? Is there a different kind of therapy that has worked to help you?

Winterbaby, when does CBT work for you? When does it not work?
