Sunrise, you got me there....my comment stems from an unfortunate experience I had with my previous t, who, when I shared my fantasy (od) with her she finger-wagged (not literally), said I need to deep-breathe (behavioral intervention) and ''you can't do that!'' ....basically did not empathize with my pain....instead, felt a need to apply cb techniques....hence my comment that a psychodynamic therapist who for the most part stays away from cb interventions would listen and empathize (instead of directing the client away from the harmful behavior)...
