I had to take a few days off work last month due to anxiety and depression and the doctor recommended a local counselling service as he though I would benefit from CBT. Since then he has assessed my AQ test results and confirmed I have aspergers and offered to refer me to a specialist, which I have not taken up at the moment.
I have returned to work and made a change in my life to lower the stress, and have been reading a lot about aspergers, which is helping me to understand myself and recognise when I'm getting stressed so I can try to calm myself down.
I haven't had any counselling sessions yet and my first assessment appointment is due next Saturday. I started wondering today if it is going to be of any help now that I seem to be coping OK again? I've heard that some aspies don't find CBT helpful. Does anyone have any advice or experience with CBT they would be kind enough to share?
Thanks
