My T is pretty eclectic but with a strong CBT/REBT bent. The CBT aspect has been very effective in overcoming all the old tapes that ran through my head my whole life as the result of early child sexual abuse. We definitely explore my history as a means to understanding where those old mistaken beliefs came from, how they served me throughout my life (usually badly), and how they still effect me today. CBT has given me the ability to finally let those old messages go and rebuild my self-confidence, to take control back over my thought processes, and move forward in a much more healthy manner.

Despite what some experience with CBT as a short-term, surface level therapy, that absolutely not been my experience with CBT at all. My deepest, most effective work has resulted with CBT always running in the background.

My T and I are strongly connected and he has been highly supportive and personal
