Find Out If CBT Is Right For You

Before deciding to have CBT, it might be helpful to think about the following:

• Is short-term therapy right for me? If you have severe or complex problems, you may find a short-term therapy like CBT is less helpful. 
• Am I comfortable thinking about my feelings? CBT can involve becoming aware of your anxieties and emotions. Initially, you may find this process uncomfortable or distressing.
• Do I have a clear problem to solve? You may find CBT is less suitable if you feel generally unhappy or unfulfilled, but don't have troubling symptoms or a particular aspect of your life you want to work on.
