Counselling not working for you?

CBT being the current trend is used as the default counselling method by just about every counsellor and online therapy option avialable.

If you're finding that therapy isn't working for you, it might just be that CBT doesn't work for you.

Not every therapy works for everyone. Other approved therapies are proven to be just as effective as CBT, so they are just as likely to work.

Its unfortunate that because of the trend other options are forgotten about and are not as common, but they are out there if you're looking for them.

If things aren't working out, don't give up on counselling, give up on CBT.

Note: actually try it properly before you give up on it. Like I said, its just as effective as other therapies, its just that there is no cure for all, everyone responds differently to different things. One size does not fit all!

If you are on a tight budget, you can try a bit of CBT online for free. One place is called Moodgym.

How can you find other counselling options?
Hopefully you don't live rurally and have alternative options. The APS website has a 'psychology for the public' section where you can search for psychologists near you. Enter your illness and location and once the results pop up, you will find a side bar on the left where you can select your therapy of choice (plus other options, such as preferred language).

I wasted 6 years of counselling and hospital visits not realising that there were other options for me, don't do the same thing.
You are not 'non responsive,' you can recover.
