We don't really work at all on getting me to think positively about myself in therapy. We tend to work on the root causes of my problems rather than current thinking. I think the idea is if we can get at the root, from my past, that understanding will contribute to greater health/happiness/insight/change in the present. It is an approach that works for me. I don't think just working on changing my current thinking "just because" would work at all for me. David, if it's not working for you, ask your T for a different approach.

I think we need to tell our T's more when something does and doesn't work in therapy (not trying to single you out on this David).
