Hi I'm a practicing CBT therapist and have years experience of working with young people but I'm at a loss. I have tried everything with one of my clients who is being verbally bullied at school resulting in panic attacks (she is 13). We have discussed the usual advice for dealing with bullying ie ...

I am always suspicious because I don’t ever want to feel like someone got away with hurting me behind my back, nor give another man the ability to say “I slept with her and he doesn’t even know it”. It’s not targeted at her, just every relationship I’ve had. My parents did that stuff to each other....

In those situations I don't like it being me the centre of attention I guess. I don't know if is the fact "of being seen". I actually like giving presentations in front of people, participating in debates or that kind of thing, I just don't want anyone for complimenting me for it afterwar...

Throughout your relationship history, roughly how long are the periods between relationships where you've been single? Wanting someone "special" is subjective/personal. Only you can answer that. So...what does it mean to want someone special in your view? What does "special" mean...

"I try my best to trust her but on occasion bring up things she’s doing that make me doubt her intentions, only to feel after the fact that it was so minor and I shouldn’t have." I'm sorry to hear that you're having this difficulty. It sounds like you tend to doubt as a way of protecting y...

And sometimes I do, others I don't. My fiancé helps me a lot but it still hurts.

So you mean in order to be "accepted" you have to be physically "beautiful"?

I still have problems with the way I see myself. Some days are great yet some days are horrible. It's like some days I'll wake up and look in the mirror and think "I'm beautiful today" and then my whole day I think that. Then other mornings I'll wake up and only want to peel the parts of ...

For the past four years I've struggled with how I view myself. I've been told at times that I'm pretty or beautiful but I just can't get myself around to believing it. It started my freshman year of high school when I had a boyfriend who, at the beginning of the relationship, would tell me how good...
