farmergirl-- I think it's wonderful that just straight CBT works so well for you.
The T. I see does two kinds with me-- we look at my past, since I have no grasp(usually) on why I have such knee jerk reactions to some things.... and then she helps me to realize the thoughts that I've dissected are what's causing the dysfunction..... but I know I need the dissecting of the thoughts/feelings first or else those thoughts will just keep coming back and back and back...... ....feels like being caught in a tornado with no power and such anxiety-- being thrown around in my head and unable to hold on to something on my own- to get control..... I think if one has never/or doesnt experience this then they are further along on the healing path....(IMO) and are quite fortunate to not be so-- stuck in the muck....

with respect to all
