I have paid privately for therapy in the past and got no benefit. then through the clinic I go to I was referred to the chronic illness psychologist and then on to a psychotherapist on the NHS and she was really really good over 12 months of therapy. But it is not like taking a headache pill, it is an ongoing process, you are taught coping strategies and it helps you to understand yourself better. I still use the strategies even now after several years.

She really did seem to get it! She even moaned about her own GP saying she couldn't be menopausal when she was in her mid 40s despite her own mum & grandmother going through it at around the same age. Now men would never get that would they?

I had two lots of cbt - first with a woman in her 50's who talked a lot but didn't help me. Second with a man in late thirties - he was fab! I was the same - felt that dizzyness was giving me anxiety not the other way around but he helped me deal with anxiety whatever the reason for it - and also used to spin me round to get me dizzy so I could reqlise that although it was unpleasant it wasn't going to hurt me! He really was brilliant. He also steered me towards mindfulness but I just couldn't get on with that!
I also found the book by Claire weekes to be very helpful although very outdated! The hardest thing is to keep pushing yourself in between sessions! He used to set me tasks to do, small at first then building up to harder - they really helped...
Good luck!

I've managed to source the Sweet Chestnut one, but will have to wait until I go into town for the Rock Rose. You have to take with water or any other drink you fancy & sip it slowly. I guess that in itself helps you slow down.

I have been seeing a lady for 6 months at the gp surgery, she is very nice and i enjoyed talking to her, what she was telling me i think is common sense and made me feel good when i was there but back in the real world i still find it had to put into practise
However when i saw her last week she told me that all funding had been cut and i only have one more session with her then she is finished at both surgeries she worked at

Just a little advice when you have your rememdy dont brush your teeth for say half an hour. Something to do with chemicals in toothpaste. i used all homepathic remedies on me and my children i used to be really into it.

Some of my homework I don't like. Filling in symptoms, how I've dealt with it, all sorts. Reminds me of being back at college somehow, makes me feel stressed. I know that sounds daft but not going there. I'm doing a daily diary instead on how I've felt that day.

Well having told my CBT therapist I didn't like tick sheets etc, what the heck did she give me more of? Really! I could answer one way today & totally differently tomorrow, depending on my frame of mind. I seem to be coping fine on Citalopram & learning to refocus my thoughts at times of anxiety. Going to load some more relaxation stuff on iPod, so I can have it with me if necessary.
