CBT is a form of therapy that seems to divide opinions more than most other forms of therapy I've heard of. And that's natural. What works for one person, won't necessarily work for the next person. It makes sense. This is why there's so many forms of therapy out there: clearly not all people respond to the same therapy in the same way. As such, some people sing the praises of CBT, whilst others rate it as being utterly useless.
So, today I'm chatting about what CBT is about; what it's designed to do, and as a result of this, why it might/might not be good for you. Obviously I'm no healthcare professional, so I could never say that 100% yes, CBT will fix all of your problems, or no, it'd be totally useless for you. Instead, I'm laying out what CBT is all about, to perhaps let you think a little bit more about it, and get to know the subject a little better.
I'm Instagram obsessed, I won't lie. But things have gotten harder on the platform over the past year or two. Gone are the days when grainy photos, meaningless captions and drunken selfies were acceptable. Everyone's taken their game up a notch and it can be hard to compete. I touched on the subject in my post on whether you need to be rich to be a successful blogger.
This question has been plaguing me for years. For years I've felt odd, I've not felt normal. I was 'that girl who self harms' and now I'm 'that girl who doesn't feel ready for a full-time job *rolls eyes*'. I've felt crazy. That's the only word that ever came to mind. In those stupid 'get to know each other' first seminars of each uni term in which you had to describe yourself the first word that came to mind was always crazy, or fucked up, or anything but normal. But what if crazy doesn't exist?
