Each time I have a review with the psychologist overseeing my cbt (I do it online and they call for reviews) I have to fill in depression questionnaires, a risk assessment form and a few others and I detest filling them in. Anyone else hate doing these?
When I first started the programme I filled it in without being honest but after thinking hard about it I decided to be honest with myself and filled them in truthfully which meant the results were worse and the therapist tells me that the system brings up red flags from my answers. This happens each time I fill them in and I’m not sure why but it makes me dread filling them in. I just feel silly that week after week I’m filling them in pretty much exactly the same because how I’m feeling hasn’t improved. We don’t really talk about depression because it’s an anxiety cbt course I signed up for. The therapist asks if I am safe to which I say yes (I wouldn’t say no even if I wasn’t as I don’t want anyone else involved) and they have suggested a few things to try when I’m feeling bad. I’m just getting to the point where I detest filling in the forms and I’m tempted to change my answers a bit going forward so I don’t feel like an idiot for always answering the same way. I’m not sure what the purpose of this post is really but I wanted to get it off my chest because It has been bugging me for a little while. Is it common to have to fill them in each session and do you fill them in honestly no matter what? |

When I did therapy for several years with a psychologist, she never used the inventory. I think it's helpful to remember that you have a right to refuse things as a patient. If you don't want your therapy to involve the inventory, you don't have to do it. Peace. |
