Has anyone had any success with therapy, is it worth to keep trying different therapists. Perhaps I should just get CBT book do it my self, but I lack self discipline.

20% of my recovery came from meds and 80% came from therapy. It’s critical.

Saying things out loud to someone who not judgemental really helps. At least that’s what’s helped me. Just getting things off my chest.

My old therapist turned me on to meditation, which has been a real boon.

Then I will keep trying therapy then.
My last one judge me hard. 
I live with a level of positive symptoms that would have trashed my insight and hospitalized me over a decade ago. CBT changed how I reacted to them. Psychodynamic therapy is what helped me develop advanced mindfulness and strategies to keep anger and stress in check. It enhances what I learned in CBT. I mostly did CBT from books, but I do see a therapist monthly for the other.

You learned to live in peace with constant Positive symptoms?
Finding the right therapist is key. I did trauma based therapy at a residential treatment center, so i needed to focus on coping skills and perfecting my use of them during times of crisis. So i got a therapist that not only helps me pinpoint when to use a coping skill throughout my day, but which one. And we practice together sometimes too. A lot of it is me going through my past week and my ups and downs. Sometimes she gives me little assignments. But thats what works for me. Ive had many therapists over the years and this one works well.

I havent had much success with therapy. But then again i dont think i found one that was the right fit for me yet. Apparently you gotta siv through a few sometimes to get a therapist for you.

I have had not so good therapists but the good ones have made it so worth it. My current one and I have a very positive relationship and we are digging deep at things that add to my symptoms.
