I am so sorry for the years of pain & what sounds to me like not being respected.
Puleeez forgive yourself for staying in therapy.
People with PTSD can find it hard to be assertive & act in our own best interests sometimes, especially with 'authority figures'.
Maybe for some people, digging & reliving trauma works. Obviously for you it didn't. It sounds to me like your T took this personally & I am really upset at the comment about the book helping others but not YOU.....especially when you felt better after reading it!
It is a great book in my opinion. I have 2 things to offer you:
First, this is a link to a FREE online CBT course....a very good one sponsored by I think the Univerisity of Scotland:
www.livinglifetothefull.com
Also, this book on CBT is quite simple & straightforward & you can easily experience CBT yourself through it. I have! I posted higher up on the page - I think I titled the post something about "a good tool - buddy's anyone" or something like that...maybe it's not that post, but in that 'thread'.
Here's the book:
I hope you see this post. Please feel free to ask me any questions or to "Babblemail" me.
sincerely, Kath
