Has CBT helped you?

I've been having CBT this past year and I don't think there has been much improvement... has anyone found that CBT has helped them?

I personally find it helpful for simple problems. But I did cognitive processing therapy on some abuse I went through and it wasn't helpful. But like I said, for everyday problems I do find it helpful.

It didn't help me at all.

CBT helps me recognize the thoughts others wouldn't agree with and ways not to be scared of them or not scare others with them.

It helped me in a lot of ways...first it made me feel less weird...finding out I was psychotic was totally disturbing but we talked about people without psych conditions who hear voices etc...it made me way less concerned that normal people were hallucinating too.

I also hadn't thought about doing things that block the voices...I had no idea that they could be blocked...certainly putting a pillow over my head had no impact. But I found this that worked and they are different for everyone.

We also spent some time analyzing what stressors I had before my first break and found a pattern of strong social anxiety so we spent some time dealing with that and it sounds kind of silly how to make friends etc. ie how to interact and be around people without overwhelming stress.

Basically I went in on an effective dose of meds but was still hearing voices by the end I was no longer hallucinating at all and now 3 years later I'm off meds entirely which I attribute at least in part to cbt helping me regulate stress from work etc.

I was undergoing CBT therapy for a few months, overall I don't think it really made much of a difference. Did a lot of homework / worksheets on the nature of my voices and thoughts. Was told to mentally state the things that I run from (ie: racist slurs) to the voices, that didn't help much either.

Not sure if breathing exercises or imagery are CBT though, those are the only things that help me.

I found ACT to be more beneficial...I was more focused on first accepting my thoughts and feelings for what they were but then acting in a way that was best for me...CBT seemed more focused on changing my thoughts...with ACT I did not try to directly change them, but changing my behavior led to a change in thoughts/feelings.
