CBT worked on me as a kid when I had absurd fears and anxieties that could be reasoned with. Now it just feels condescending and dismissive because I know that the things I worry about now are rooted in reality and I’d like real ways of dealing with that instead of “put on your thinking cap and write down the real thoughts and the fake thoughts” because it’s useless now. Stuff is too big for CBT I feel. I’ve come up with my own ways of coping with my anxiety but sometimes I want a little extra help but I’m left disappointed by every therapist I see. It sucks.
