I couldn't get on with Claire Weekes - supposedly she had anxiety but then 'recovered'
![Undecided :-\](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/undecided.gif)
and none of her suggestions worked for me. Nor did CBT, because my phobia was instigated within 24 hours of birth so too deeply engrained. At 1 point during sessions I could tell the therapist which book she was quoting from and almost which page

If your GP has referred you then the therapist will be registered, not every one is 'on' the internet

…….. the 1st session should be about finding out your problems and personal history ……… I only ever got prescribed 12 initially, then in the 1990s this dropped to 5 sessions

so make the most of it. Let us know how you get on!
I couldn't get on with those therapists that wanted my history way back. I was looking for a 'cure' now and coping skills for the recent problems. Talking it out reallyr early helped.
