Dear Sunrise,

Thanks for your message - I appreciate it. I think the T was mostly believing in CBT ideas, but I'm not sure if he uses other ideas too. It seems like some Ts out there use a blend of concepts. It may be that his approach works well in other cases....he seems to have a reasonably full schedule. I just think I might not be a good fit for it.

Anyway, yes, after I've had a bit of time to adjust, maybe I'll think about looking for another counselor or T again. Today's not the day anyway. sigh.

I was working with a counselor last year and we had such an excellent working relationship. I think he had a blend of working concepts, but mostly a psychodynamic approach. I think I did better in that sort of format. He moved away - I still miss that working relationship. It was going really well.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

Take care,
