hi,
ive been given a form by my cbt therapist which asks me to identify my values and answer questions like "what kind of partner do you want to be?".
I doubt there'd be many people on here with experience of this but if there is, did you find it easy to identify your values? I think it's a tough thing to ask of someone who is depressed like I am.
I'd also like to know if you found CBT helpful. When I asked my psychologist if she thought it was going to help me she just replied "It works for some people" and "therapy isn't for everybody" which is not really the answer i was looking for. What i wanted to know was whether she thought the therapy would help ME, because if she doesn't, then what's the point of me going to these sessions?
I want to start learning some coping strategies because i have severe health anxiety and I go to hospital every day (literally, have been doing so now for months) which is taking over my life and is spending a lot of the NHS's time and money which just makes me feel guilty. I dont know if anyone else has experienced this but it would be reassuring to know if there is.
anyway, sorry if this sounds incoherent. i'm meant to give her back the form tomorrow and i haven't written anything on it. I feel like a teenage student who hasn't done her homework.
