I've had CBT which i hated at first, it made me angry and i hated the homework, i rarely did it at first. But actually it proved really useful in pointing out my negative core beliefs and channelling my thoughts and finding what was behind them. In the end it def did help me, HOWEVER.... because it wasn't a "depth" therapy it never really got to the core of my self loathing, there was no room to grieve for my past etc which i really needed hence the reason i have now gone into different therapy that allows for that.

My advice is to take what you can from the CBT cos some of it is very useful but maybe explain to your therapist that your needs right now are to process your feeling rather than being constantly challenged on them.
Thanks for this!
