Larry,
The fact that you have succeed with CBT, means
that you were able to. I don't know what kind
of trauma you have suffered - whether one or many,
but you are one of the people who have been able
to turn cognitive states around.You must understand, that not all people have
the same ability. Take a look at some of the
War vets - they never get over what they went
through - they need drugs, they need assistance
outside of their own resources. That's because
some people don't have the emotional or mental
resources - they may be burned out.As for control, again, take a look at domestic
incidents of violence and abuse (no, i am not
putting myself here). These women need to be
removed from abusive situations and the law is
what will help in these circumstances, not CBT.So, basically everyone is different with different
strengths and weaknesses. In the worst cases,
i do believe that drugs, and removal of the
hurtful stimulus help the most. I think that
CBT is a long-term, analytic, and didactic solution
to something that has already faded in memory.Squiggles
