Yes. I go to a therapist about every two weeks. I used to do more CBT for catastrophic thinking… anger management… and other problems.
but it’s lately switched into more mindfulness and staying grounded… staying focused in the now.
It’s helped me with some of the extra baggage that comes with this illness.

Hey, yes, I’m currently doing CBT and also seeing an occupational therapist every two weeks.
I see a therapist once a month. Suppose to be every week but I can’t get rides out the clinic.
Yes, I am going one time each week.
Tolteca.
I go once every two weeks. He uses a mix of elements of different therapies, he’s the â– â– â– â–
This stuff is proving (in heaps of efficacy research since about 2000) to be The Bomb, or at least the best stuff available for pretty much everything now. Based on Hindu, Buddhist and Sufi methods, it’s rooted in proven practices at least 2500 years old!

Yes. After doing about five years of combined psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, existential/gestalt and mindfulness PTs, I’m now into “reformed” & “bs-eliminating” Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, Gurdjieffian and Krishnamurtian practices including that 10-StEP mantra I keep spraying around.
There is no doubt that I am in better shape now than I ever was even before the nine years of bipolar, psychotic, paranoid delusional, terror-stricken hell than ambulanced me to the ICU after serious suicide attempts in '97 and '02.
aren’t we suppose to regularly see a therapist to get medication?

Wow… I’m glad your doing so well now.
I had a feeling my CBT has been sort of morphing into other forms…
It’s a journey… and for now… it’s helping me a lot.
I don’t like my odico, but I do see my cpn (community psych nurse). He is great. He is a compassionate man who is a good listener. I appreciate his company a lot.
Thats cool that you have someone to interact with that’s fit for job.
I was saying befor that it takes a specific type of person to be effective at dealing with people and sometimes there problems.
Currently on hiatus still from therapy after being dumped by previous shrink. Hoping next one is better. Trying psychotherapy this time because CBT wasn’t all that useful with a lot of things. It helped with my anxiety by helping me become aware of my thought processes but that’s it. There’s a lot of things from my past that I really need help sorting through and CBT just doesn’t do that.
