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. (:Health Question & Answer

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.Health Question & Answer
