Hi Adrift,
Welcome to babble!
My therapist doesn't do cookie cutter therapy. She does a variety of different therapies depending on the needs of the client.
Can you talk about your issues with your current T? It doesn't seem to me like you're getting much help from his current techniques. I like the cookie cutter analogy- it makes a real easy mental picture. Your T needs some different shape cookie cutters. Clients are unique- the one approach for all doesn't work.
Though if you've tried to talk about it before and got nowhere, maybe it's time you shopped around for a new therapist? One that is eclectic and not set in old textbook ways?
You are not a cookie and neither is anyone else. We're all unique and that's okay. Believe me.
