Been offered CAT short course but completely terrified about the prospect and wondering if it has helped (or hasnt). Any advice appreciated.
CAT is much more effective than the usual CBT which is given, so it's good you've been given it. It tends to actuaooy be long term, so it's surprising to hear of a short course. It can be very effective and can make a difference, like all therapy though it requires a lot of honesty and hard work
Thank you. It is reassuring that it works but less so the honesty/opening up which I hate, when do you get your dignity back with mental health stuff!
Unfortunately if you don't open up and be honest there's little point in doing it, there's no loss of dignity with a professional, they've heard a million times worse
