I forgot to say that I live in germany, so our insurance pays for therapy, but you have to decide after the 5th session who you want.
Also, Iīm not sure but I think german cognitive/behaviour therapists might work a little differently than american? i read a lot of american cb-books that were very much focused on changing behaviour, however the cb therapist i went to, it surprised me too, asked a lot of question about my family, past, childhood and asked me what i thought my reasons for problems were and offered explanations eg. my fatherīs behaviour, aswell.
so itīs not like she went straight to changing my thinking, but straight to finding the root and THEN changing it. Not sure how it is in the US; maybe the same.

Thank you for your opinions! Iīll think about what you said!
My CBT therapist was much the same as you described (I live in the USA). Based on what you posted it sounds like you made your choice?
Thanks for this!
