Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

Hey yall! My name is Angela and Im new to this group! I am an avid lover of animals, I am a senior in community college, my life is/has been a hot mess the past like 7 or 8 years, and I finally reached out and started going to therapy. I've had 4 sessions and Ill start my CBT treatment plan tomorrow for my PTSD. I actually thoroughly enjoy going and my therapist as well... I've never been to therapy so I am definitely curious to see what treatment is like vs meeting and chatting every week!?

Any panic and anxiety sufferers out there want to share things that works for them. I’ve been doing CBT and ACT along with meds for about a year now and looking for kindred spirits that are willing to talk about their successes.

I need a therapist who does CBT but no one who does it accepts my insurance or is accepting new patients.... I don’t understand why doctors do not want new patients...? isn’t it their job to help us..? I feel helpless and hopeless

I am so glad I have the day off today. Tomorrow I go to my first real counseling appt I am so nervouse. I am excited to start CBT I also am prould to say that I have weened my self off one of my medications because my Dr. couldn't understand why I was on it I was taking two mood stabilizers that's just ridiculous.
