Oh definitely when it comes to things like paranoid ideations, ideas of reference, and hallucinations that I experience as part of having Psychotic Depression, that's when his treatment approach changes to more one of reality check and distract, plus medication when I need it (like at the moment). I think he uses different therapy techniques for different diagnosis with me. Not a 'one size fits all' approach.
