It's strange, because I was referred to CBT and after loads of stories I'd heard, I was expecting a fair wait. But 10 days later, I was at my first session...
As for the therapy itself, it has helped me to a degree, and has helped in situations but some anxiety attacks and phases I get are just too strong for a simple change in thought process. Everyone is different. But I am pleased I went, as it had more positive impact than negative!
