Has anyone been used this approach in therapy. My psychologist said EMDR wasn't the right approach for me and that trauma therapy using the CBT model was a gentler approach.

Has anyone any experience with this ?

What was it like ?

Did it help ?

Sorry about all the questions.

Many Thanks in advance xx

I am doing CBT through a self help workbook. I like it.

My daughter is doing trauma-focused CBT. I only hear a little about it (she shares as she feels comfortable) but it is helping her tremendously! Self-harm, panic attacks, catastrophizing anxiety, PTSD, and depression. All better than at the beginning of therapy, except the PTSD which was triggered recently and caused her quite the regression.

Good luck!

Thank you, yes that's the CBT approach my psychologist wants to use.

It's good to hear it's helping your daughter, I hope it helps me. I'm finding its very hard to find anything out about this approach.

I don't know if there's a difference between CBT and trauma focused CBT. My T does some CBT with me, especially for my depression. She most often has me challenging my thoughts and/or rephrasing my thoughts. I find it helpful.

Someone, on another thread, mentioned the android app The Worry Box. I looked it up and look at what other apps Excel at Life made. They make a CBT Self-Help app too which is exactly what my T has me fill out to help with my thoughts.
