Hi, I have recurrent depression. I've had three severe episdoes, but can go years in between without it. Anyway, I go to a therapist who doesn't do CBT specifically and I also take anti-deps. Do you think that just doing CBT exercises from the various books out there would have the same effect as going to a CBT therapist? I don't want to change therapists at this point to a CBT one, because I like my therapist and she helps in a lot of ways, but she doesn't assign CBT exercises. So can I assign them to myself or does it have to be with a CBT therapist? I guess it couldn't hurt to do it on my own.
