She only had one tool, therefore it had to be the right one.
Over the years CBT has done little or nothing for me. A certain percentage of people are not going to derive much benefit from it, and I believe serious researchers understand this.
Alternatives: Person/Client-Centered Therapy? Dialectical Behavior Therapy? Do-it-yourself? Given your background, you are in a good position to take charge of your own approach.
If I had a better grasp of my family history, I'd try to construct a "family diagram" (genogram) to gain potential insight into myself in that constellation of personalities.
Wishing you success in your search for something that works.
