Can you accomplish what you want with just the psychodynamic therapist since you prefer his style? Many will incorporate elements of CBT into the work if they are flexible and it is what you need. Or is there a reason you need to see two different ones? Your CBT t is handling the transference fine, it's just that it isn't really part of the work in this type of therapy. CBT is usually centered in the here and now, so he would be more interested in how you cope with your feelings for him than where they originate from. What kind of outcome are you looking for in an in depth conversation with the CBT T? I'd think discussing your feelings for both of them with with the psychodynamic T would be just as productive. It's not really the individual men as people but what they represent. That's not something a T who's strictly CBT oriented is going to get into. Its not right or wrong it's just not what CBT is really about.
