Just wondering if CBT is proven to be of any help?
Or is it a case of 'some it helps and some it doesnt' ?
I think i get CBT in terms of thinking correctly and putting yourself into a more positive frame of mind whilst recognising our own flaws on which we need to work on. I found it overbearing as it seemed all homework so couldnt continue, i understand that it is me that needs to put in the work for me but being so disorganised and un-attentive leaves me shelving the work and ultimately not bothering with the CBT.
I did actually find a course online and continued to do that at my own pace which i found much more enjoyable as it didnt seem an impossible task with a time limit. So i found an online CBT more helpful than 1to1. I did the online one when i was having a bit of emotional upheaval so not sure how useful it is purely for ADHD.
How have others found CBT? Or is CBT not really relative to ADHD?
I could post a link to the online CBT course but not sure of this forums ethics on posting outside links.

I've had CBT.
It appeared to be a 'one size fits all' thing and I ended up wanting to kill the case studies.
From what I've learned since - ADHD is a hard nut to crack.
We're more difficult to get through to and unlearn the lessons of CBT faster.
That doesn't mean that ordinary CBT is a complete waste of time. But it does mean it's value is reduced.
The powers that be (clever psychs) recognised this and have invented specific CBT for ADHD - this is available from a limited numbers of clinics in the UK.
From the few reports I've heard the participants were happy with the outcome.
If you are incredibly lucky you'll live near one of those clinics.

I find CBT very helpful because it's practical. I use this site llttf.com/ It's free. It's not something I'd want a course for though.....

I could post a link ............... but not sure of this forums ethics on posting outside links. Forum ethics? We 'famously' have unwritten rules - so I can't tell you what they are Essentially it's Be legal, decent and honest. I know - I stole that so I've already broken them that means that all links are fine if they follow those rules unless they are commercial in nature - they can pay for their own advertising.

Yes cbt helped me but the biggest thing of all is being supported in the workplace environment.
We can live with are self's, are family's can tolerate us most times lol
But the biggest difference is support at work.
I know I rant all the time about. If you can get that part of your life settled honestly the rest gets easier
Why cause of the mistakes I made employees and employers made big issues out of it & the stress spins off into everything else. You will not eat right, sleep right end up being edgier, dnt wanna go out for fear of judgment it goes on it takes over everything!!!
Which is why I needed the cbt cause I started to believe that I was useless. Because someone at an early age at work had told me that.

It's a real shame it seems like that, as CBT should really be tailored to each case and specific problems, according to a thorough formulation (i.e. not their diagnosis). Really there shouldn't even have to be something like 'CBT for ADHD' as such, and definitely nothing that can be called "ordinary CBT"! But some mental health workers are lazy or don't understand it properly I guess.

With that said, there are a lot more techniques related to negative thinking etc rather than disorganised thinking! It will improve I'd like to think

Hmm, methinks the ££££age would be spectacular, the reported cost of the Maudsley's CBT would make you cry.
