But I think one session isn't enough to know whether or not he will be helpful long term so I think I'll give him a go. I can always go back to current T (have to give her another name soon....ExT I guess) if it doesn't work out with Dr. K. She said I can come and go as I please and I am always welcome back.
I totally understand your dislike of CBT. For me it seems invalidating and like my therapist is saying everything I do or how I handle things is wrong... it makes me feel stupid sometimes. While I trust her enough to know, intellectually, that is not at all what she thinks or is implying, it often triggers those feelings from childhood.
