I did CBT with my previous T. I tried and sticked with it moslty because of the low prices...I was in a bad place when I started and after a while I felt better, knowing I had some sort of support. I didn't like the T that much tho...and I noticed that after a while it was really repetitive. Thinking about positive statements or about defeating irrational thoughts wasn't working. Logically I knew how to do things, but deep inside I was a mess. When I ended it last February I felt better for a few months, but then everything came back again. Now I'm not using those CBT strategies, because they aren't helping. I think it's important to give a try to different approaches and see what works best for you.
