Blah!! Thanks - I needed that, re-reading it it seemed a bit pedantic!
Flip!! I confess I'm a pedant! Honestly though I've seen D with face to face help 'vs' online, I've experienced both kinds too and while I'm hugely grateful for both, a GOOD, QUALIFIED, EDUCATED counsellor is hard to beat!
CBT is used as part of the UK mental Health system - widely, the problem is that the system it's used in is underfunded and poorly set up, as a result access is damn near impossible unless you; a) see purple rabbits in your underpants, b) cut, strangle, or physically mark yourself (I would say self harm but without blood or bruises I don't think it counts - unless there's blood it's the clients fault!), c) attempt suicide using a fast method, or d) threaten to harm or harm others.
Access to the internet is so much easier to come by!!
