CBT for me.


11 years ago 0 23 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Around 6 months ago I started to have panic attacks again (haven't had for 5 years), and pretty much from the first attack I knew I wanted to see a therapist to get this sorted before it got out of control. 

I was on a CBT program with her for 18 weeks, and the panic attacks did come less frequently. The problem is that they are not eliminated and neither is the fear of panic/anxiety. I thought that I was doing really well with the program, and then when we got to the end and I wasn't completely better I felt like I failed, and the cycle started all over again. 

I know that everyone can take a different amount of time to overcome this, I guess it would just be comforting going into this new program having some reassurance that something is not wrong with me.


During my program I did pretty much the same things outlined here, but I think I distracted myself most of the time rather than actually accepting and trying to move on. Now that I learned that do I have a better chance of succeeding this time around?

Thank you in advance for any response.
