Follow-up question related to I-CBT

Coping with Panic Disorder without medication
Hello all, Does anyone have tips for coping with Panic disorder symptoms without medication? And or does anyone have tips for managing a panic attack while driving and or out in public? I trialed a few medications and they did not work well with my body (I had sensitivities that were severe). I

Inference Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (I-CBT)?
Hello, Our daughter L was transferred into a residential treatment program for mood and anxiety disorders on Thursday for what is intended to be a 30-45 day stay. It does not sound as if she will be getting a lot of ERP there, but at least she will be cut off from the opportunity to carry out some

I graduated and I moved
I’m not sure why it seemed like a good idea to move around graduation time. I’m obviously not well, but needed to be able to afford an apartment without the threat of eviction because my daughter’s father doesn’t seem to care about paying child support. Asking a question then answering it for myself

Middle School transition & family frustration
Hello moms, New to this group. My son is 11. He was diagnosed with ADHD in Grade 1. He just started middle school this week. My husband struggles to understand the lack of maturity, difficulty following through and struggle with effort. While my son has been tested gifted, getting work done is a battle

Read & Plunge. Research and then just do it. You'll thank yourself for trying it.
After about a year and eight months since my diagnosis, which was about two weeks before my 50th birthday, I've tried it all; you name it. The reading up on ADHD, exercising, nutritional biochemistry with supplementation and vitamins, meditation, journaling, etc. The lot. I just came across TWO gamechangers

ERP therapy
Good morning! I recently started ERP and thought since I'm on medications it will not bother me so much and I will not respond to the triggers but I was wrong. I do respond to triggers and it aggravates my OCD. What is your experience with ERP? How long did it take? Did it get worse before it got better

Lymphatic massage by myself
I have a leg lymphedema and I've been doing manual lymphatic massages. I do them once a month to keep my leg in a good shape, because my therapist recommended this. I would like to do it more often, but my therapist doesn't have the possibility to do it more often. I am also moving abroad for university

Adrenal glands and reflexology
I’ve just had an amazing experience at a reflexology appointment (on a holiday with my Mum). At the end of the session the therapist asked to look something up and then said ‘you’ve got a blockage in your adrenal glands’. I hadn’t mentioned anything about steroids or adrenals before and she said it

I don’t have ptsd
hi guys well I guess I’m feeling hopeful. I got a new therapist and she told me I have adjustment disorder not ptsd. The difference she said is that my symptoms have lessened when I changed my environment and that I no longer have nightmares. I just want to thank everyone for the support and wanted to

Emotionally Immature Parents
I am learning about this in therapy and wondered if anyone else ventured down this road of discovery? Of all the therapy over the years this is the first time a therapist suggested this could be a major part of my struggles, especially with my relationship. Has anyone else heard of this and maybe can

My Experience
Hi everyone. So I'm doing well. Continuing taking Lexapro for complex PTSD, depression and anxiety. I've had 3 sessions with a therapist. Seems to be going well. It's still so surreal. I started Lexapro 45 days ago (6 weeks ago). Still it feels like I'm on a holiday vacation and at some point the bills

Anxiety and confusion
hi, I have suffered anxiety my entire life. Last year, my anxiety got real high, and I awake early every morning, very anxious with racing thoughts, nausea, etc. My GP added Abilify to my Zoloft, and I started to feel better, but then I started awakening every couple hours with nightmares. Finally got
