My therapist does CBT (cognitive behavior therapy). Specifically with me, we have been doing EX/RP (exposure therapy) for OCD. It's an effective way to treat OCD so far, but she definitely has a different style than some of the other behavior therapists I've seen in the past. I can't really explain it. I think that her style might be more effective though if she tried to have a more personal relationship with the client. I had that in the past and that was a big source of motivation for me. With this t I have now, I feel no emotional connection to her or what we are working on, so I just go through the motions. I feel like I might be able to have a greater benefit if I was engaged emotionally.
