Yeah I'd rather talk about my internal life than goals right now.
What made you decide that cbt was right for you?

Well it's more like I chose him not the therapy style. I found him on psychology today a year early and he referred me to one of his therapist and I never showed. Something made me contact him a year later and he took me. It's kind of like it was meant to be. He says he's eclectic, and in a way he is, but his CBT dominates. Hes always been more than tolerant of my neediness. Umm I would say I'm a very far cry from one of T's healthy clients.
He's so well versed with his CBT he's able to keep me under control...most of the time.
