<font color="blue"> I'm not sure that debating what the MD meant versus what we know to be true about REBT is doing any good, but lowering your trust in the MD. As I said, psychiatrists don't usually keep up with the ongoing talk therapies, imo. It also, imo, wasn't his place to fully discuss the therapy another doctor/therapist would begin working with you on... yes, his comment might have been flippant.

My focus is that YOU need to discuss these questions with the therapist, and gain his understanding of how REBT will help you best. Each T tweeks any modality somewhat. I 've even met some Ts who say they use one method and find they aren't doing that at all!!! That's ok..but... you know???

I'm eager to hear about what you found to be true, and what you found to be misunderstood regarding your therapist and therapy TC!
