Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 After a long wait, I've made it to the assessment stage with psychology services again. They worked with me on ACT last time. They feel that ACT has helped me in many ways, but I am stuck with some unhelpful problem-solving habits. They want to do some more conventional CBT to improve how I solve difficult issues. I gave the example of my son's report from school. It generated lots of difficult thoughts for me, but to defuse from them would be like ignoring the problem. What should I do with the new information from school? The truth is that I have real problems looking at troublesome thoughts, and picking the wheat from the chaff. My curious scientist lets me down. I still always over-react, and looking back at a later date, I can see that any decision I take is usually disproportionate to the problem. Not sure if conventional CBT will help any more than ACT. I will have to wait and see. The glorious NHS has now put me on another waiting list for when the next therapist becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
