Dinah, thank you. I was hoping that the 12 to 15 week treatment would help because it is so widely touted. You are right, I have run into a variety of unusual therapists (hopefully unusual in that they were a little quirky and not helpful, one was harmful) in this field. I have come up with at least 20 screening questions for the next therapist but this is very unnerving for me. Possibly CBT is not the route to go. You say it is that it is the therapist not the modality. The last therapist had me record a mood journal and then we talked about the moods--I tryed to speak about things that were going on as well, I also said that not all my moods were about the health anxiety and that I have spent years developing my own coping. When the panic about my heart hits I try very hard to talk to myself about the fact that it is not true. Confusing to me as well. She said it wasn't working and would take a long time did I want to quit. I finally said why yes. Not an encouraging session at all. It was the 12th session.
