I’ve only ever done CBT with a therapist. I think the others are maybe for more complex diagnosis? But I may be wrong.

One of my therapists at one point mentioned me possibly doing occupational therapy. Not sure why. I thought that was just for kids. I think I may have done it in preschool along with my speech therapy. I just remember doing a lot of one on one with my speech teacher and I remember her pushing me on a giant flying saucer shaped swing a lot.

I was non verbal until I was 4. I remember when I started talking my mom had to send a recording of me talking to my school.

One of my therapists does relational therapy, probably alongside some other stuff, but relational therapy is her main thing. I see the other one for DBT and EMDR. My diagnoses are anxiety and depression related. CBT has never worked for me and sometimes makes things worse because I often find it invalidating.

Jungian depth therapy primarily along with a dose of other modalities thrown in for good measure (sand play, humanistic, psychodynamic, transpersonal, spiritual).

I think both women professed to be psychodynamic -but I have no idea what they thought they were doing. From where I was - they did nothing. It would not have mattered what label they put on it.

He does integrative with me.

My T does a mixture of things, it's mostly psychodynamic therapy. He's trained in CBT, MBT, DBT and TFP and integrates parts of all those into our sessions. Which to me seems a pretty good mix for BPD, which is my diagnosis.

CBT and psychodynamic therapy, but the psychodynamic we do mostly while using the sand tray.

i've done mainly psychodynamic (with my long term ex-t,) nuerofeedback therapy, and the past couple of years i've been partaking in psychedelic assisted therapy (both mdma and psilocybin). all of these therapies have mainly been to address developmental trauma/CPTSD and DID. of all of them, the most beneficial for me have by far been the nuerofeedback and psychedelic therapies.

I did mainly psychodynamic for around 4 years.

I honestly never really had much idea. I didn't really give it much thought. In retrospect, all of my therapists were rather eclectic, using approaches that varied on what I needed to work through a particular issue or maybe learn a particular skill. It worked for me. I don't think I would have liked a therapist that only used one therapy modality.

My last therapist was more direct in explaining to me his various approaches, but he was a psychologist and was definitely more broadly skilled than the other two (who were also good for what I needed at the time). He approached things very psychoeducationally with me because he knew I was interested as a teacher, and he enjoys teaching too, so I was probably more aware of his various modalities because of that.

My T is a person-centered therapist, and she says it is about the relationship in the room for the basis of trust.
