I'm very sorry that it happened to you, I would be very hurt and I think I would react the same as you... However, I can understand why your T recommends you psychodynamic approach... I would never say that I'm too intelligent to CBT but I agree that this method might not be for everyone... For instance, I need discussions, exchanging opinions, interaction with a therapist and I want to understand everything, not only to learn how to cope with some emotions/reactions but really to understand them... And according to my knowledge (I might be very wrong) better understanding and going "deeper" in the topic belongs to more traditional methods than CBT...

However, as I've said, I can understand why your T recommends you a different approach but of course it doesn't mean that I wouldn't feel abandoned by her if it happened to me... I agree with anilam, I would bring it up to the next session and tell T about your fears and feelings... For sure you are not too "ill" for CBT! Your needs might be just different than your current T can fulfill...
Thanks for this!
