This video from Sussex Partnership NHS Trust introduces Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) with perspectives from a CAT Therapist plus two people who share their direct experience of CAT.
We are grateful for permission to embed the video 'Rachel's Story' on this website. Rachel shares her experience of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) and how it helped her.
Obviously any therapy is a unique meeting between you and your therapist, in the context of your particular difficulties. CAT may not be helpful for everyone. However we are grateful that Rachel wanted to share her own experience in a way that gives others more information about how it was for her.
The second in the 'In Dialogue' series of podcasts made by CNTW Academy features Expert-By-Experience Libby Walker talking to CAT Therapist Jak Smith about her experience of Cognitive Analytic Therapy.
We are grateful to them both for sharing their discussion and giving us permission to include it on this page. We also thank the CNTW Recovery Academy of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust for allowing us to feature this material.
