Since I'm just at the beginning of the CBT I haven't learned much in the way of managing the delusions and voices. At this point, I'm learning about delusions and voices. My last "homework" was to read a couple articles about schizophrenia and voices and fill out surveys (BIS, BAVQ-R, BDI-II, BAI, and thought control questionnaire). Once I get further along in the CBT, I'll provide an update.
My understanding is that the goal of the CBT is to help me identify the delusions and hallucinations and "correct" them. At the same time I'll learn coping strategies so the experiences are less distressing.
