Hi Potter, mine had nothing to do with ESA, I was going before I started getting ESA. Am still going now and if I am not well enough to go, I just ring up and cancel. I have had 12wks group and 20wks one to one and yes they have helped me to understand what is happening to me, but I do not know if it will help when I am left to get on with it on myu own. I feel my therapist is an anchor for me.
Best wishes and good luck Bubs x

1. When I had CBT it was intially weekly and then went to fortnightly, in total I had 26 sessions.thanks for the replies.
just a few more questions.
1 how many times do you have to go to these sessions and over what time period.
2 is there any chance of being excused from these tests on your GPs advice.
3 and if you are compelled to go but fail to attend then what sanctions will be taken against you.

I had CBT about five years ago and as far as I was concerned, it was a complete waste of time and didn't work. In fact, it actually made me worse!
Although CBT is peddled as a panacea for mental health problems, whilst it may work for some people, it doesn't necessarily work for everybody.
