CBT Round 3

This was a very short session clocking in at 30 minutes over the phone.

I can see what we’re trying to achieve through CBT but it just seems a bit pointless, I don’t think we really covered much of importance. I much prefer in person sessions as I can’t distract myself or become distracted by other things as easily.

I don’t really have much to report on this session, in the next sessions we’ll be covering breathing techniques to help bring my anxiety down and help control panic attacks more.

I’d be interested to see what other people’s CBT session structure is like as like most people I’m going into this blindly.

CBT Round 2

I had my second round of CBT today and it went much better than the first round. This time I took a bottle of water with me it gave me something to focus on and stop my hands from getting all weird, it’s also amazing how thirsty you get during these things.

The session was focused on a few situations over the past few weeks where I’ve had issues with anxiety and panic attacks. We identified things about the situations and how I should be dealing with them.

I feel much more positive after today’s session and I’m glad that I’m sticking with it, I can see that this will help me and provide me with the tools to help control my thoughts better.
