I stymied my CBT ex therapist because due to abuse experiences and current unhealthy living environment, my "irrational" fears were in fact VERY rational.

She felt overwhelmed by me. I liked her a lot but don't regret switching to get colleague who does ACT, DBT, and schema therapy - all of which utilise mindfulness and grounding exercises. I like how schema therapy incorporates psychodynamic as well as I believe our past experiences shape our present.
