In my experience, my therapist and I say have seen each other for a long time and don't have specific goals per say. And he can be warm and nurturing. But he also pushes me to make more friends and to live life outside of his office. Not to reconnect with family, because it is not healthy for me to speak with them (it makes me feel much worse). He encourages exercise, even though I resist it, and I actually exercise far more than I ever would if he didn't suggest it. I wonder why you feel the need to share this opinion of yours with those who feel that they have successful therapy relationships? I know that CBT works - I just don't happen to want to have a therapist that practices specifically that. I also know that a more eclectic approach improves my life.
