Don’t put pressure on yourself to recover instantly. Most CBT is short term help, for the long term gain.
It’s might be difficult. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean that online CBT won’t be beneficial. It could still help. It might take a few sessions to get used to it, so don’t drop out of the race at the first hurdle. But also remember that CBT isn’t a race – the slower you go, the more likely you are to benefit.
Don’t put pressure on yourself to recover instantly. Most CBT is short term help, for the long term gain. Focus on small achievable goals/targets that you can manage each week. Even if you can only manage one, that’s still progress and a step in the right direction.
Try and record the audio/video call or download the transcript (if you’re typing). This will be helpful for when you eventually finish the CBT, but it’s also a great refresher to have to look over before a session. This will also be something that can help track your progress from start to finish, and will help to remind you of how far you have come.
