No wonder you didn't like the T you had during CBT. I am in the field, and while CBT has a lot of research behind it and can do wonders for people, it's also up to how it's delivered by the T and ultimately the relationship between the T and the patient that determines how much it helps. I am glad people here have been supportive of you! I hope that you get set up with a better T that is a more suitable match for you. Hang in there!
Thank you for your reply and comments. I think then I best when see new T go in with an open mind about CBT and give it a chance. Also your right people here are very supportive and I am grateful for that.
