haha yeah, it may well just be a give up vs a lot of recs. He was pretty foldy so i decided to try my luck, alas, it failed

EDIT: turns out UTG limper is the reg in the hand..? Clearly my radar is off

A lot of the sessions felt mechanical and she would spent a lot of time trying to stick to a rigid plan rather than focusing on me (I'm aware this'll come off as a little narcissistic, it should be noticed that I also had a trainee therapist assigned).
At the time I felt the CBT was a big help but I think on reflection I didn't get a great deal out of it compared to the work that medication has done (I take Pregabalin 3x daily). A lot of what was covered and that I took from the sessions I could have easily done myself just reading a CBT therapy book and practising the exercises myself.

Good to see you @ 500z regularly Ben, get 'em!
Really good insight and thanks bigA. Always really interested to hear peoples experience around therapy as it helps me to gauge what people do and don't want. I really hope your mental health is manageable atm, it's not a derail, keep em coming!
thanks a lot too! glgl

I have another whole weekend at uni this weekend so very likely no grinding. It's on research for next year, to help with dissertation and other essay type stuff.
