Oh, I definitely know it would be very hard to switch! It took me like 9 years to finally go back to therapy this time after a bad experience....that's why I thought maybe you could just visit with one a couple times while you still see your current T. Maybe a T who is less focused on the CBT model and can combine it with the psychodynamic/ humanistic or whatever stuff...so you feel heard and maybe can process some of the underlying emotional pain rather than only focusing on action steps...maybe it would help set the foundation for making the behavioral changes.
Idk though, just thought I'd try to help. Thats totally up to you. I guess I can relate to you because I've had some experiences similar to yours in the past and I absolutely *need* to feel validated first before I can make changes since I was so invalidated most of my life.
