What is a cognitive psychologist and how can I see one?!
Question: What is a cognitive psychologist and how can I see one!?
Look at the last questions I posted if you want in depth stuff about why I need one but I don't think that's so important for this!.!.
Anyway I was talking to someone last night and they said I should see a cognitive psychologist as well as a counselor because I need ways to control my anxiety when I have attacks, they can last hours and hours and it's ruining college because I'm missing so much!.
But what is it!? What will they do!?
I have this mental picture of the word 'psychologist' like some scary guy with horn rimmed glasses and a clipboard, in an old fashioned room where it's all black and white and horror movie-esque, where I sit in a strait jacket rocking as he looms over me!.!.
Okay maybe not!.!. but I don't know anything about psychologists!.
Is it like counseling!? Will they make me do weird things!?
And how can you go about seeing one in the first place!?
Thanks!. (:Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Go to your GP and ask for a referral!. They'll probably do something like cognitive behaviour therapy with you!. The idea is to change your thinking patterns and the way you react to certain situations!. It's just a talking therapy like a counsellor but more structured!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
