One giant leap forward! - Part 6

[T1000]

I text W and asked to Skype the kids. She said they had been put to bed early because they were being naughty.
She apologised.

Then she sent me a text:
W: I will be starting a 18-24 week cognitive behavioural therapy in the next couple of months so will be really needing a bit more help with the kids as I'm not sure how it's going to affect me.
Me: If you need it and I can do it, I will help. My therapy was cognitive based.
W: Do you think it helped??
W: I only had my assessment this afternoon. Felt fine about it but now feeling a little depressed. Suppose it's hard having to talk about past stuff and then walk out of a room and try and live a normal life.
Me: It was all good advice and worthwhile. A lot of what he showed me I had already started with various online advice and audiobooks.You don't spend a lot of time going over the past in CBT. You could get a great deal from it.


W has had therapy before and it was all about going back to her past and she did find it hard.
18-24 weeks seems like a long time considering mine was only 5 weeks.
I believe if it's anything like what I did she won't find it stressful and if anything it will relieve stress the more she goes.
Obviously I'm dubious of the timing for asking for more help with the kids. At the same time if she thinks it is anything like her last therapy I can understand it being a realistic concern.
