[QUOTE="slsh, post: 158648, member: 8"] I am a huge believer in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The one caveat is that the person in therapy has to be willing and motivated to participate and work on the necessary changes to the self-talk we do to ourselves (for example, "it is going to be okay" as opposed to "life bites, nothing is worth it, it's all falling apart, and why should I expect anything different"). I'm near-phobic when it comes to medications and doctors for myself, but CBT probably darn near saved my life several years ago (I had a *fabulous* therapist). Now, I took thank you to the same guy and it was a complete bust, but thank you isn't terribly motivated to improve his lot in life. It's really sad, because I think thank you also is totally ruled by extreme anxiety - he'll give up before even trying something because he's just so sure nothing will ever make a difference. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
