i don’t know them all but does anyone know how many different therapies there are and what might work best for a person with schizophrenia
i think Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a big one
if you have tried any different types of therapy that’s even better
i had a massage once but it wasn’t a good experience bc the woman doing it had a runny nose lol
cbt
hypnotherapy
eft…( tapping )
yoga
mindfullness
meditation
exercise
healthy food intake
probiotics increase good gut bacteria…( most serotonin is produced in the gut not the brain )
take care 
I’m working in psychotherapy research. CBT is the go to for us, it is the standard approach. I prefer psychoeducation and interpersonal therapy because I learn from my psychologist- I am studying to become one in school.
think i labeled this thread wrong, i meant to ask 'what therapies have you tried?
I am trying mindfulness. A strong voice in mindfulness is John Kabat-Zinn. I read two of his books (one of them is an audio book) As far as i know it is a cognitive behavioral therapy. There is a great quote from him which says that, for example, awareness is bigger than pain. He asks to have a vision when applying the princeples of mindfulness. It helps to put a distance to your thoughts. The books i read are Mindfulness for Beginners and Where Ever You Go There You Are (audio book) both available at itunes, so I hve them on my i-pad. I feel lucky because my therapist recommended this guy and he thought that it had a great deal of good influence on me. My vision is currently about coming to terms with my obsessive way of thinking and anxiety. My doctor recommended mindfulness after I told him that i am physically suffering. It involves meditation. Kabat-Zinn’s books opened the gates to a totally different world. I have been doing it for weeks now. Hope it helps, good luck
This comes up from time to time, so here we go again!
I also did mindfulness, which has probably kept me out of hospital! CBT and schema therapy.
The schema therapy i did with the help of my psychologist and a book!
I haven’t tried any therapies. I think the most importany thing is to view yourself simply as a human being.
Baby steps…
CBT, with two different therapists. I found some aspects of it very useful in combating my anxiety, but so far for my psychotic symptoms it has been relatively useless.
I’m the same, but the schema therapy helped break some negative pattens as well as the CBT.

But my opinion is it’s part of a package improving some areas of someone’s psychological make up can have real benefits! I’m not the same person I was before becoming ill or having therapy. I’m not sure how it would affect my PANS though!
not really a therapy, but I’ve tried fasting. I stopped eating solid foods for 8 days and the voices completely went away. I did this while taking the medicine and wouldn’t recommend it. Some meds are activated by food.
While fasting, I asked God to take the voices away. My folks said I was looking unhealthy thin, so I started back eating, and the voices came back. I can’t not eat for the rest of my life, so I need a new option.
Counselling, Transactional Analysis, CBT, Jungian analysis, teeny tiny Acceptance and commitment therapy which was part of my CBT. Psychodynamic psychotherapy. Psychodrama. And a few more that I have no idea of the name for.
