Ugh, how awful! Not only that he does this, but that he TEACHES this!
I wonder how common it is. I've heard of medical doctors ordering un-needed tests and just treating symptoms without providing a 'cure' when it is available. I guess we truly have to be the advocates for our own treatment, but that is much more complicated when dealing with mental illnesses that may affect our ability to advocate for ourselves.

My T uses CBT and actually recommends that therapy should't have to take more than 3 - 6 months. But she also specializes in eating disorders and trauma, which she realizes can take a lot longer to treat so I know she is not rushing me out of therapy.
