Yeah Racer, I agree with Dinah.
Some therapists only do something along the lines of cognitive restructuring.
That is what they are trained in and that is what they consider to be their area of expertise.If your t is of that way of thinking then you are best to find this out sooner rather than later so that you can move on.
I have seen many therapists of that orientation.
I battled on with them because there wasn't any other alternative.
I thought I might be able to bring them around.
But I couldn't.
If I had options...
Then I guess I've learned to believe them when they say 'this is how I do therapy'.
Good to find that out sooner rather than later.By the way...
I agree with your problems with it.
I hate it.
It makes me worse.They do tend to interpret any problems with the approach as 'resistance'.
It doesn't help to be judged or blamed.
Might be time to move on...
