I've found Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to be the most beneficial for me. It's one of the 'new wave' or 'third wave' therapy styles which has been created from the basis of CBT, along with Mindfulness-Based CBT (M-CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), & Metacognition Therapy (MCT).
I particularly like DBT because it seems like more of an equal power dynamic, & involves mutual agreement with your therapist as to how the sessions will be conducted, & the behaviour that's expected of you, which I found addressed a lot of my uncertainty & reluctance about engaging in a therapeutic relationship prior to that.
If you have the opportunity to engage with a therapist who's trained in any of the aforementioned therapy styles, I'd encourage you to give them a go, & see whether it appeals to you. I've found that I've always felt cared for & encouraged by those who I've worked with who are trained in these styles, & it's been so heartwarming to feel I'm valued & my outcomes matter. I hope you can find someone who's equally beneficial to you soon, all the best! X
