Hi I have had CBT.
Yes I always exhausted after my sessions, I think that is normal plus being bombarded with lots of information in one go was exhausting in it self.
On your T giving up, I hope T wouldn't do that, the exposure stuff is hard but your T should help you get to a place where you feel you can attempt the homework. My T attitude was as long as I gave it go.
My experience of CBT I looked at it like self discovery, you are finding better ways of coping, maybe finding out about things you enjoy that you didn't realise you enjoyed.
I had a positive experience with CBT and it helped me get my eating disorders behaviours under control, I also think with CBT you have to go into with an open mind and willing to try what your T suggest's, hopefully your T should support you through it all xx
