I think CBT can be good as a shorter term therapy to deal with specific issues such as anxiety / depression to get you to a stage of functioning in the world. But psychotherapy is longer term and gets to the route of the problem. There are many different types of pscyhotherapy, but I have read that it really is not so important which approach of psychotherapy the T uses, the best outcome is connected to the strength of your wokring relationship with the T - in other words if you and T get along OK, then you are likely to benefit - I am sure though that the skills of the T must also count towards success.

What kinds of "talk therapy" have you tried?
