I'm with Agentfyre on this: I think you need a different therapist, especially if you've expressed to this guy that his positive thinking approach is not helpful. CBT, in my experience, helps you to see things realistically and approach the problems (which actually do exist, in most cases) in a constructive manner.
Of course, if you don't want to give up on this guy, you could try to educate him. For instance, you could have him visualize treating appendicitis with positive thinking. Even he would have to admit that's a recipe for disaster.
