Anyone found psychotherapy helped.

I'm starting psychotherapy next week just wondered if anyone found it helped with bad mental symptoms. Tried CBT in past which didn't help me personally. Do think some stuff that happened in past had been stifled by zopiclone so partly causing symptoms plus the anti pressant which really screwed me up.

I think psychotherapy can be very helpful during withdrawal.  I agree with you that a lot of stuff surfaces in withdrawal that may have been covered up by benzos and therapy can help process this - it's important work. 

 

In withdrawal I think one of the most important roles for therapy is helping you develop techniques to cope with anxiety or whatever withdrawal symptoms you're experiencing but also the techniques to cope with whatever it was that brought you to zopiclone in the first place. 

 

If it's a good fit with your therapist it can be profoundly helpful.  But if you don't instantly click with the therapist it's worth giving it a couple of sessions before you decide.
