BTW, CBT also doesn't work for me. Therapy was not that helpful for me until I found a non-CBT therapist, someone with a bigger toolbox who could use the best techniques for me. It seems I often read here that CBT doesn't work for a number of people. I wonder why so many therapists gravitate to it, then? I remember pinksoil saying once that most of the students in her program wanted to do CBT. (Hope I got that right, pink!) Maybe it is just as simple as CBT is the therapy that insurance likes to reimburse for (because it is shorter and not deep work), and the therapists in training are very concerned with the bottom line.

I actually read somewhere that insurance companies love short term therapy and yes CBT accomplishes that. My therapist uses this primarily and it didn't work with me.

He adjusted though and I'm glad he did. He did say once that most of his clients respond to it.
