Hey there, I appreciate you talking about it. While cbt maybe helpful for many people, it doesn’t necessarily benefit all. It can be distressing to a few too.  So before coming to a conclusion, i recommend you to get a second opinion from a psychiatrist and then decide.

Hello, It's understandable to feel overwhelmed during therapy, especially with CBT. It’s okay to question whether it's working for you. CBT is one of many therapy types, and while it's effective for many, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Experiencing a mix of emotions can be a normal part of healing - it means you're processing things. If your current therapist says there's no problem but you still feel emotionally distressed, it might help to get a second opinion from another qualified mental health professional.

Consult an astute psychiatrist and get evaluated based on your complaints and symptoms.

Hello, thank you for reaching out and expressing what you're going through — that takes courage. Firstly, it's important to know that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. While Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is evidence-based and helpful for many, it may not resonate with everyone at every point in their journey. If you’re feeling misunderstood, unheard, or invalidated during therapy — that’s significant, and it deserves attention. Here are a few gentle suggestions you may consider: Open Dialogue with Your Therapist: Let your therapist know how you're feeling about the sessions. It's okay to express that CBT isn't working for you or that you're experiencing emotional distress despite being told "there's no problem." Therapy should feel safe and collaborative — your emotions matter. Second Opinion or Different Approach: If the current style or therapist doesn’t feel like the right fit, consider seeking a second opinion. Sometimes a change in approach (like psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, emotion-focused therapy, or even trauma-informed approaches) can offer deeper insight and support. You Can Pause or Transition: Yes, it is possible to take a break from CBT or transition to a different therapeutic model. Healing isn’t linear, and trying a different path does not mean failure — it means you’re honoring your unique needs. Mixed Emotions are Valid: Feeling a mixture of emotions daily doesn’t mean you’re not progressing. Human experience is complex, and feeling “a lot” doesn’t disqualify your growth. Instead, it might point toward deeper layers that CBT alone might not be addressing. Lastly, therapy is meant to support you — not define you. If your current space isn’t feeling helpful, please know you have every right to explore alternatives.

Heyy I can help you better with further treatment course needed. U can connect me via whatsapp on seven zero eight two zero two two zero six two.

Your emotions can't be invalidated by a therapist. If you're feeling something, it should be considered. Afterall that's the job of a therapist. If you need an alternative opinion, you can ping me on eight two seven six nine, one two six seven two. I'm a psychotherapist, trained from the University of Oxford and I will definitely guide you through.

Hi It’s okay to feel that CBT isn’t helping right now. If you’re facing intense, mixed emotions and your therapist says “there’s no problem,” it can feel invalidating. Therapy should support, not silence your feelings. You can talk to your therapist about switching to a more emotion-focused or supportive approach — or even consider changing your therapist. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Please meet a doctor and get yourself diagnosed or know that you don't have any disorder. Next step, not all therapy and therapist may suit you and that's alright. Therapy should not be another burden but it should be a support. I would be glad to help

You can have more emotional distress after starting CBT if in the first place you were not suitable for psychotherapy itself.While undergoing CBT, certain unresolved past traumatic experiences can resurface which can cause more emotional distress. Talk to your therapist regarding this and ask if you may need another psychotherapy suitable for your profile

Therapy is a personal choice, you have choice to terminate therapy. Difficult emotions coming up during cbt is common, it is best to discuss them with the therapist honestly. Learning to manage difficult emotions is what therapy is for.
