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

    Any particular talking therapies?  I've heard CBT called a talking therapy.

    I think counselling that involves a dialogue is indeed more likely to be comprehensible and useful.
