CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy)

Buz89

Hi everyone my names Scott busby I’m 32 and I was diagnosed with slight Asperger syndrome yes “slight” I don’t know what that means either, I’ve struggled  with anxiety, panic attacks and depression, I have trouble having conversations and understanding people, I’ve been having CBT for the past 3 weeks now every Monday and becoming more difficult every time as I’m having to complete the questionnaires every time about mood, emotions, feelings, I get homework every session and we go through what situations I've experienced, it’s got to the point I think that I’d be better off speaking to the nas (national autistic society) I’m not sure where to go. Just wondering if anyone else with AS has been through CBT.

  • I have to say, I tried CBT, and found it rather distressing where they constantly ask "why", and if you don't know the answer, they still aks why you don't know and it gets infuriating, so I can attest to its irritance, as I stopped engaging and said to the counselor, "listen, I don't think CBT is working, please can I try talking therapies" and for me, talking to someone and having a dialogue is MUCH better than "why" every 5 seconds, also with Talking therapies, you explore why you feel the way you do without all the questioning, instead its more like a discussion with someone who cant judge you :D

    I think it probably depends on what sort of therapist you get. I had a counselling session once where I was asked about an event "how did it make you feel?" that's too open a question! I didn't know how I felt at the time and I still don't!

    Oh certainly, I myself absolutely abhor the thought of that question, as right now im fighting my own GP for the right for me to have liquid format anti-depressants because i cannot take tablets.

    People always ask me "how did you feel" or "how do you feel" but a lot of the time i cant even explain anything - Just to key you in to prevent multi replies

    I got lucky on my first round of anti biotics before i came of them and they said "if you feel better, then they are working and we should keep you on them" however now im just very unlucky and cant get back on them lol, they keep telling me no
