[understand. It's a positive, though, that she let's you know what her planned technique is. Do you still tell her that you don't like CBT or do you go along with it until she changes methods?

I forgot to mention in the initial response. A couple of days after the appointment we ended up talking on the phone because I was so upset. I told her that I dislike CBT especially in the incident we had been discussing. That day I had to go with my young adult daughter to the Boston Police to file a report after being assaulted by somebody. It was a very painful experience and I was devistated. Some of things she talked about was that my daughter was an adult, wasnt hurr that badly, would be okay, etc. I was a mess. At the end of the appointment she did say she handled the appointment wrong but then we wrapped up.
On the phone I mentioned all of the things that she said really bother me. I told her that I have never really liked CBT even when my long term T tried to use it. I told her when I am very emotional trying to make me think positive feels like she is saying my feelings and emotions are wrong. When she tells uses it know she tells me ahead of time that she is not saying my feelings aren't appropriate or Justified just that she would like to help me see it from a different perspective. So far I have been okay with that because as I said I know she is not invalidating
