I went to see a CBT therapist recently for the first time but I also feel I need long term therapy in addition to CBT. I asked her if she could provide long term talk therapy once the CBT if finished, and she told me that she could as her degree is in counselling and psychotherapy and her masters is in CBT, so she is qualified to do both. She seems highly qualified and also teaches CBT to therapists who are learning. I found her warm and clicked with her too which was great because I've been finding it so hard to find the right T.
I keep thinking though, if her specialty is CBT, would she be as good at the talk therapy side of things as a Psychotherapist who does pure talk therapy everyday?
It's been playing on my mind non stop so I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts were. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
