CBT is great for some people, but certainly not everyone. For me personally it is a really bad fit. The CBT stuff makes me feel really disconnected from the T. Occasionally my T resorts to some of the CBT talk and I call her out on it, and tell her not to pull that CBT crap on me.

Don't feel bad if this approach doesn't suit you. There is no "one size fits all" therapy.

Best,
