No wonder I am frustrated that she doesn't want to talk much

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">Sky, I took this to mean that ECHOES' therapist doesn't want to have much talking going on in the sessions, because ECHOES has posted before that she wants to talk more in her sessions, but the T wants to do guided imagery and hypnosis and not let ECHOES talk about her problems. Is that right ECHOES, you want to have more of a talk therapy but T does not?

That said, ECHOES, I too am confused about what you posted that suggested CBT-oriented T's would not want to have talking in the sessions? A lot of them actually emphasize that way of interacting. You go for an hour, talk about your issues and try to change your thinking about them to promote change. I had a CBT counselor for a while, and all we did was talk--mostly me, but she asked questions along the way or would give specific advice based on her expertise if I requested it.
