How many sessions of CBT will I need?
If CBT is recommended, you’ll usually have a session with a therapist once a week or once every 2 weeks. The course of treatment usually lasts for between 6 and 20 sessions, with each session lasting 30 to 60 minutes. Whether you cite a lack of time and/or finances to commit to the recommended schedule, many therapists will advise no less than twice monthly sessions. Therapy requires a concentrated effort on a consistent basis to realize the fullest benefits from the therapeutic relationship. Can I do CBT by myself? You might be able to do CBT by yourself, including through a computer or workbook. This could be useful to try if you are waiting for treatment. Or it might remind you of some good techniques, if you’ve had CBT in the past. CBT typically takes one day, but there is no time limit. There is also no pass or fail – riders who aren’t ready after one day keep going until they ‘achieve’ the correct standard. Research shows that CBT is effective for anxiety, whereas counselling is less so, and as such counselling for anxiety is not offered in the NHS.
