You have become like a guiding light to me. When I started a project on similar topic I could not get enough information to carry further. But as soon as I read your article, my project is doing great and I hope to get an A+ this time. Thanks!

How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.

Techniques employed in CBT include keeping a diary of significant events and associated thoughts, feelings and behaviours; questioning those which may be unhelpful and unrealistic; trying out new ways of reacting to these situations; and gradually facing situations and activities that may have been avoided in the past.

I have had a course of CBT myself after being referred from a psychiatrist whom I was seeing about my health problems which included depression, anxiety, ME/CFS and irritable bowel syndrome. CBT is commonly used for these conditions. The use of CBT for ME/CFS is controversial because although a few studies have found it to be helpful when patients are surveyed it generally gets a resounding thumbs down verdict. I have to say I would also rate it this way. Don't get me wrong, the theory behind CBT all makes a lot of sense and I found it both interesting and enligtening looking at how my thoughts, beliefs, and emotions all influenced the way I behave. The problem is that I found CBT gave me little in the way of tools to implement lasting changes based on what I discovered about myself.
