Cbt Vs. Psychotherapy For Ptsd

[EvenStrongerNow]

Opinions please.

Why am I not remembering already posting about this before? https://www.myptsd.com/threads/switch-from-psychotherapy-to-cbt.28000/

Is this common with PTSD? What is wrong with me?

It's like De ja vu, like being back at square one. I feel so defeated.

I forget I have done things before.

I don't take meds but I can forget. Meds of course can blank you out, but that's an old thread. I could see forgetting I'd done it.

Don't be hard on yourself. It's human - especially with PTSD!

Anyway, why not try CBT? You've done the other. I've had enough of just talking for a lifetime. I need more now. But that's just me.

A good, experienced psychotherapist will often incorporate CBT into their work with you, so I am not sure it is an either/or thing.

CBT is a psychotherapy, it's called TF-CBT (Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) vs CBT which is a general therapy technique for counselling.

 

[Abstract]

As I said on your other thread strongernow, I forget things like this too. I think it can be a combination of concentration problems, dissociation and being very distracted. Annoying I know.
