I had to pay privatly for a CBT therapist a few years back when i was really ill with anxiety.
At this time, i was taken out of a big hole and praised the therapist & recommended CBT to everyone...
I had 12 sessions then regular boosters monthly decresing as time when on due to financial difficaulties.
I had to stop boosters a while back & i started to slip back no matter how much i self talked/went over notes i couldnt lift myself back up

I got so bad again i was refered to Mental Health Team who assessed me and refered me to a NHS CBT therapist
I had my assessment yesterday and >>>>

Bad news was... she didnt know FM & believed pain & fatigue was all in ya head


Long story but the point is, she said the private therapist hadnt picked up on the main issues, she went back to my childhood, he didnt.
Basicly it worked out that he had purposely left me dangling so i would end up going back and paying for a session......
Kept me needing him

I will take this further
So please be careful who you see
It was my GP that forwarded his name so i will write a note to him....
