I've had a mix of all of it said to me, most common being the first one. The problem with therapy is you have to buy into some things that don't quite make sense realistically and so when I point that out or otherwise defeat these thing I get told things like "you're too smart for your own good". I just don't get why it's so hard to come up with something believable. I've even pointed out how some techniques could be more realistic at times... It's frustrating and makes it hard to feel like I will ever get better when the thing that is supposed to help just makes me feel bad because I can't dumb myself down.
