i have been referred by my GP for CBT.  I have health anxiety, bought on by the sudden death of my mother.  I am constantly worried about health issues, , and that of my young daughter.  its draining and impacting on my life.   i am hoping this therapy will help me.

    It will! CBT is very good, if you have a good rapport with the therapist it will definately help you... Good luck... We all know what you are going through, but it will get better x

    Hi,  my mum died and i also suffered the same.  CBT really helped to re-educate the way that i thought.  Its hard to be strong for your child when you feel so vulnerable and child like yourself - i know i still feel the same sometimes and my mum died 15 yrs ago.  My son is 7 now.  Hope it goes well for you.
