10 Reasons to Consider CBT
5/30/10 10:09pm
I've found CBT to be most helpful in the past 8 months. I've worked through Dr David Burns Workbook called 10 Steps to Self Esteem. It helped me enough that I was able to go off of Wellbutrin and Xanax gradually. Although, I still have work to do, as new problems have shown its ugly head. But I'm working on them with the help of the Psychologist. Now it is getting rid of things, or dejunking to make life easier and other family members happy.
Not necessarily on my time table, but with family counseling it is helping us all to be on the same page and not have any surprises that threw me in a loop and I actually experienced my first Panic Attack, which was awful so now I'm taking .5 mg of Xanax 3 times a day to keep me okay until the Memorial Day weekend is over and I can talk to my Med Dr about my needs. I still will see my Psychologist after the weekend to work on my Anxiety issues of dejunking. I'm hoping I won't have to go back on Wellbutrin.

I had CBT and learned a lot about how to deal with the origins of my anxiety, which were the feelings of shame and guilt I have felt since my childhood because of a few certain instances...instances of which I am just now beginning to be able to look back on and analyze in a somewhat less shameful manner, though the road ahead of me to non-shame is still long. My point is, CBT armed me with the weapons I needed to go to war with my misplaced shame and guilt.
