maybe the technician can refer a like-minded collegue for you, someone who is not into CBT. I agree CBT is annoying and stupid.

However, you do need to ask yourself how 21 therapists failed you. Where are you finding them? Are you doing the legwork? Talking to a T or a dog doesn't help. You need to set goals in your first sessions and talk about how the T plans to treat you. and make sure it isn't CBT.
