Most awkward cbt session ever!

recluse · 2009-05-20T21:18:10+00:00

So today i had another cbt session, and it was hell! One hour of not knowing what to say to my therapist! My therapist was trying to get me to tell her if i wanted to change my life but my mind is just blank. She told me in a nutshell that the sessions i've been having with her for the past year...

do you ever think to yourself that deep down inside (after you seen a therapist etc) or even before that
you already know the answers within yourself, think about it for hours (days) and still there is no way through that GAP!
everyway you look at it you lose!
the solution to a problem does not always exist in my opinion

CBT is ALOT of effort, you have to KEEP affirming positive thoughts in your mind. There's some sort of research that says for every negative thought you have, you need 10 positive thoughts to counter the negative thought, so you can imagine how much effort has to be put into to counter the negative thoughts we have in our minds. If I were perfectly honest, I think I just wasn't really trying when I was going through therapy so I'm still sort of stucked at the same place.
