CBT Therapy to overcome BP anxiety

Hi all

I posted the other week regarding my anxiety around BP and had some great advice on here.

My GP has now referred me for CBT therapy in an effort to help overcome my issues.

Has anyone else gone through this process and did it help?

Thanks again in advance for any help or comments

Just an update, took my BP today after avoiding it for a few weeks, knowing that I am getting some help to get it under control, and got an average of 136/84 which is good for me with no readings over 140/90!

Amazing what our mind/thoughts can do to our bodies….
