Adapted CBT therapy that worked

anna

Hi all,

Have recently been diagnosed with ASD and trauma as an adult (36yo  afab), it used to be just BPD. This new diagnosis is more accurate in my opinion. Waiting for the report which should come in 8 weeks and contain more details. 

When I was given the diagnosis, I was recommended adapted CBT therapy, which is said to help with anxiety, depression, etc. Regular CBT therapy doesn't work for ASD, which I know from personal experience. 

Have any of you had any experience with this type of therapy? 

I'm looking for suggestions in London, seen as that is where I live. 

Thank you

  • It worked for me. I had a therapist that was from a different country (who completely understood my feelings of not fitting in) and  they had good advice of repeating words to myself internally or verbally. I've calmed down a lot over the past year. I'm diffidently less stressed. Do you like to read? I have some CBT books, if youre interested

    I am also not English, some of the things I say may not make sense to an English person, because of the cultural differences. So I understand your comment about that. I am waiting to see what the report says, because I am not sure what I need help with and can't seem to find the time and energy to sit down and think about it properly. You can leave a comment with your book recommendations. Thank you
