I've had other talk therapy and even turned to self help but none helped really until I entered a CBT program. It has been a great positive experience and influence on my life. Since I've actually done the homework it seems to be sticking.

Now there are CBT workbooks out there and I DO recommend them. My problem with them was I tried to read through them in one sitting and ignorred taking the worksheets seriously. If you are unable to find a CBT therapist I highly recommend picking up one of these books.BUT! Take your time! No more than a chapter per week and actually do the homework - and do it daily.
