For what I am learning is that most T's don't do just one kind of therapy. They use some of the best from all of types to help different kinds of people.
I belive looking at things so black and white really is a disavantage to people who want to do CBT therapy, , in other words it is putting negative ideas torwards a type of therapy which is most used today, so it is like putting a negative spin on therapy itself.For my own example, my T is mostly cognitive, but I have been in therapy for almost 2 years, our relationship is a common topic, we do look into the past, heck that is what EMDR is for to look back at the tramatic memory no matter when it happened. So according to a lot of people defination of cognitive, my therapy doesn't seem fit that model, but it does. Plus I doubt I am an exception.
So just because one T is taught a certain kind of therapy, doesn't mean that they don't know the others, and may use other models of therapy, if they don't, well they probably aren't the greatest T anyways. Just my thoughts about it.
