LittleBlackDog, you DO deserve support, care and effective help!
Standard CBT doesn't work for a lot of people. There's modifications like Trauma Focused CBT and CBT for eating disorders etc.
There's Acceptance and Commitment Therapy too, there's formulations of it for trauma.
There's Compassion Focused therapy, Mentalistion based Therapy, Transference Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy etc.
