So sorry about your experience with unhelpful therapists.
Sometimes my T utilizes a CBT intervention, and I've explained to her why I dislike such treatment and do not find it helpful at all. She said most of her clients like it and respond very well to a cognitive-behavioral approach. She now seldom utilizes it; instead we go with the psychodynamic stuff. She has good training and has the letter PsyD following her name...... We have done some excellent work using this approach.

Best of luck!
