Anyone take CBT??

Anyone take Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for social anxiety?? Does it really work? If so how long does it take for you to overcome your fear. Thanks.

It does gradually work (or has for me) but you have to be damned persistant and I think there is a nack to doing CBT which I think therapists can often fail in getting across to you. It's not a case of 'I did it for a month, didn't work', you need to do it for the rest of your life. The CBT course just shows you how to do it, it does not mean you should be cured at the end of a 6 week course.

Thanks for the reply what is it thought that therapist fail to tell you?

I had to buy a CBT guidance book to realise where I was going wrong (or what the therapist just did not get across)

I could in no way concise what that book taught me on here.
