Hey.

CBT is better suited to some people than others...

I agree that overly focusing on thoughts can be counter-productive for some people. I know it is counter-productive for me.

Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions so I can better understand what is up?

(With the intention of suggesting something other than cognitive restructuring).

A phobia for your own body?

How does that manifest? I mean usually the object of the phobia is something fairly specific that can be avoided. But... Well... You can't really avoid your own body. It kind of follows you around (so to speak).

Um... Do you have a panic attack if you overly focus on a part of it? Is it about a particular part? All of it?

Or does it manifest as a more generalised anxiety given that your body follows you around all the time and all?
