Astraea, maybe one of the therapists at your college (or the T you see) can use a different therapeutic approach (from CBT) if the client requests it. Can you ask your T if he or any of his colleagues uses other approaches too? I think it would also be good to discuss with him that you think CBT is not working. Maybe he can modify just a piece of it to make it a better fit for you. Or maybe he can give you his impression on what is going on in therapy for you. Maybe he thinks everything is going great and he is seeing progress. Or if you feel you are going around in circles, can you move on to other topics and return to this difficult one sometime in the future?
