Sometimes I struggle with CBT. T is quite eclectic with her modalities but there have been times where she has used CBT and it felt totally invalidating. Once it caused an issue. To say I was angry is an understatement. She recognized it the end that while she should of been supporting me and hearing my pain she was using CBT. Now she will often say that she is going to utilize CBT so she is not invalidating my feelings and thoughts but is offering a different perspective. Still dislike CBT..
