Is it possible that your T is trained in other areas outside of cbt as well? It may be that because I had cbt for psychosis which is considered more genetic/biological and less emotion based so that was the focus of my T but I can tell you we never even mentioned my mom or dad or how those relationships are/were. Also I routinely see cbt T's mentioned as having a lack of transference in the relationship due to the less emotional nature of the interaction. I just wonder which of our experiences is more normal if either is...
