My feedback and advice for anyone thinking about starting CBT...

"I decided to start CBT because I had been prescribed it. The things I wanted to address were pretty much everything: rebuilding my empty life from scratch. CBT has helped me to take control of my life again and regain a sense of sanity

The most valuable things I’ve learnt are to solve my problems I have to accept them and face them with courage then I can take control of them and improve my life rather than them controlling me.

The most important practical changes I’ve made are that my thought patterns are much healthier and my behaviour patterns are much more constructive to my situations.

With the help of CBT my confidence has grown because I feel much stronger because of what I have accomplished because of my therapy and because of the mental tools I have gained I feel like I can handle any situation with confidence. My sense of inner peace and calm has increased because my CBT sessions helped me to address past problems and move forward from them effectively. My relationships with friends and family have improved - I am more relaxed and open. This is because I have more peace with myself.

I have the strength to keep building on my progress because I now realise that it is essential to my wellbeing. I feel mentally equipped to live a positive life and be able to take control and deal with problems when they arise.

In a nutshell, I think that CBT is a very effective way of helping you to deal with life. I would recommend CBT to other people because you learn so much that you didn’t know was available to learn. To anyone thinking about whether to start CBT, my advice and encouragement is to definitely do it and go in with an open attitude!"
