Did CBT Work for you?
Posted , 3 users are following.
In about a weeks time I am going into my third course of CBT,
the first course i had was good and i learnt a lot from it and still practice what i learnt. The second course not so much, I did not click with the therapist.
This time, I have got goals I would like to do.
1- deal with obsessive thoughts that convince me that the thought will come true.
and
2- deal with what if thoughts.
I know both of them I struggle a lot of with .

CBT can certainly help by making you more aware of your automatic reactive thoughts. It also teaches you to challenge those thoughts, often over-generalizations, black-and-white thinking, by matching them against experience.
The only problem with CBT is that it is not useful for changing the underlying emotions that fuel reactive thinking. It is where Mindfulness Therapy excels - it not only teaches you how to break free from thinking patterns but also allows you to transform the underlying emotions such as anxiety and fear that feed reactive thinking.

Thoughts and the mind is like a ship, we can either let it run its course or we can put implementation into our thoughts, the thoughts shouldn't control us, we should control the thoughts.
