First CBT appointment - what to expect

[LtBenson]

Hi, I have my 1st cbt appointment tmrw via video call arranged through my GP. I was referred for depression and anxiety before lockdown but obviously this was all delayed.
It's making me really anxious because I don't know what to expect. I can feel the panic rising in my chest just thinking about it.
Can anyone let me know what to expect?
Thanks 😊

I hope that your first session went well.
I had my first session after an initial assessment last week, but it was basically just going through everything again. I'm not sure if that was because it was a trainee or so that the person you deal with gets first hand understanding of where you sit on various scales etc.
