anxiety ? clinical physcoligist? cbt?

[gizmoxx]

Hello again everyone
ive not posted for a while but often have a look through! Anyway, i went to see a clinical physcoligist on tuesday and i really dont know what to tink of it all! I sat for a full hour and talked about my life, i started at the begining and went through my childhood, siblings, partents divorcing, relationships, re marrying, misscariage, pregnacy and birth, my children, and everything inbetween. She would stop me every now and then to ask more in depth questions and to ask how i felt about situations then and now. at the end of it she sid my palpitaions are coming on with anxiety, even though most of the time i dont feel anxious! She thinks i concentrate on them and think about them so i dont have to think about my life etc. ( my life is fine i have to say!) i have another  appointment with her in two weeks time to talk again, then we will disscuss what to do after that, i am hoping to see a cognitive behavioral therapist, im sure that it best for me to help me stop these thoughts of fear and palpitations
what do you all think? will it help seeing her? has anyone else had this
thank you in advance

hi, i have to agree that it seems she was trying to blame this on my past. the palps did start around the time i had a misscarriage at 16, and lots of other things i can link in, but i dont want to think im blaming my parents or anything else, i just want to put it all behind me and start living a "normal" life again.
How long have/did you suffer with anxiety?

hi CBT helps a lot with anxiety, it helps you realise that anxiety can actually cause these palpatations etc anxiety is one big circle and CBT helps you break the circle cause once its broken you`ve cracked it, my therapist didn really ask about my past although bits of it did come out, they help you understand more about anxiety.
i actually went to counselling once and yeah its good to get things off your chest but it didn really help me cause they just blamed everything on my past and didn really help me understand anxiety.
