Welcome to our online support community. The program was designed by
doctors and can really help you progress though this. Take at look at
each step of the program, it is work..but it is affective!
CBT is only effective when you do the homework. Worksheets help you track your homework exercises and CBT is a lot of work.
As you move through the Depression Program the worksheets will change as
you change. Make sure you give yourself time to do the homework
properly - you know your depression best so it's really up to you to
decide how often you do your homework. Take your time when you do your
homework, there is no rush!
Each session in the Depression Program is based on previous sessions,
and if you track your mood with your Mood Tracker (and keep notes in the
spaces provided) you'll see much improvement over the coming weeks.
At the beginning of each session we give you a Weekly Review, which
allows you to see how far you've progressed. We save your Weekly Review
results in your Session Diary, so you will see a collection of results,
which are all based on what you write in your worksheets.
CBT is a lot of work but the good news is that if you follow the program
it will all come together for you as you start to feel better.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.
