Hi all I have been given the option of doing Cognitive behaviourl therapy has anybody done this and found it useful? I have been feeling low for a while now and really don’t want medication. To attend the course i will have to get two buses or a taxi ( I don’t drive) just wondering if it’s worth the expense. I have done some reading on the internet but would be interested in someone’s first hand experience, if you are willing to share.

I had therapy for anxiety at my doctors surgery. As the women spoke to me I did what I always do and nodded my head as she made different points. She then said to me "Why are you nodding your head?" This made me terribly self conscious about this 'habit' not only with her but in everyday life.........until I noticed that it was a normal thing to do!! Needless to say I never went back to her but I did complain to the doctors about her behaviour.

I found it very helpful and supportive and would highly recommend it.
My issues were low self esteem and anxiety.
