CBT has its own advantages - because not too often, people can afford the kind of intensive regressive therapy.
I would say CBT is like ready made clothes - it fits lot of people, but it doesn't make you look your best.
And the kind of indepth therapy is like buying a designer dress. If you want designer dresses, then you have to pay for it, and make it specially for you - that is for people who can afford it and who is willing to compromise other stuff. The other stuff takes years - in my case it has taken me 3 years of intense soul searching and constant work to understand certain things that I understood now.
Fortunately I had Ts who were willing to give that to me - even though both of them are CBT. They allowed catharsis.
