Title: TF-CBT
Post by: LimaRoo on July 02, 2012, 11:01:30 PM

I'm currently having TF-CBT with my psychologist.  I'm in the middle of it but not really sure if it's helping or where it's going.

Has anyone ever had TF-CBT?  If so, what were your experiences (if you don't mind sharing)?

Thanks,
LimaRoo

Hey LimaRoo.


Can you explain what TF-CBT is? I've had ordinary CBT, but am not sure what the difference is so sharing my experiences might not be helpful!

Hi,

I'm really sorry for not explaining properly.  TF-CBT is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and is very different from normal CBT.  That's why I'm so confused.  I've done CBT and DBT before.  But I guess I was hoping someone could tell me more about the TF-CBT cos I don't really understand it or know where it's going myself!

Thanks

LimaRoo

Hey hun... :hug1:

Don't know much about therapies...not really had any as you know from different thread.

Just wanted to say that I hope you find more information on it.
Could you maybe ask the psychologist about it?


Wont be about in crisis or here and now rooms for a while but i'm still around elsewhere.
Take care and stay safe..

Hmmm the psychologist just says, we'll do this bit and take it from there.  But I'm the kinda person *control freak* that needs to know where it's going so I can plan! 

It's freaking me out a bit.

Plus my therapist is very impersonal.  Like she's very robotic.  I know therapists are supposed to be professional, but I find her very cold and difficult to talk to as she doesn't react to anything to say.  I can't bounce anything off of her as she just doesn't respond.  Anyone else had the same problem?
