I hear ya! This is why I stopped therapy last March. And so far so good. There are many approaches that therapists take-and all depend upon the symptoms the patient approaches him/her with. Freud's theory is "childhood", Maslow's theory is "self-actualization", and so on.
CBT is about changing your thinking and behavior that maybe adding to your discomfort. Most psychologists do it, but some are tailored and trained to only do one or a few types of therapy.
Hope this helped a little?
Good luck, Kristen
-------------------------------------------------Where does CBT differ from "ordinary" Pyschology? It seems like so many pyschologists I've seen don't want to dwell deep into things and they just want to give "seemingly worthless" examples that any idiot could come up with. Basically what I'm saying is that too many pyschologists just want to spend the hour session treading the water with examples of positive thinking instead of going down deep into the water and addressing the true problems. Do you guys feel that CBT is a totally different experience? Are all pyschologists trained to do CBT?
Thanks,
Tommy
