Of course, actual CBT is a bit more involved than my approach but since my parents couldn't afford therapy for me and I wasn't working. There are lots of workbooks out there now on CBT/DBT, and you'd be surprised at how much you can make inroads on your own (and perhaps working a workbook and bringing it up in therapy can help?). Is there a reason you can't switch to a therapist familiar with CBT such as insurance or geography?

No there's no reason, I just wanted someone to help guide me through it. I think that the place misunderstood and thought I was say DBT instead of CBT yeah I've looked into workbooks. That may have to be my only way..
