Yes I agree. one of my difficulties with cbt was that the therapist would try to narrow down my fears, presumably to get something concrete to work on. I would always maintain that I was afraid of everything, as if a fear switch had been left on in my head and would not turn off.
The only thing that would turn it off was xanax and for some reason ,no other method drug or technique.
Burns is actually assuming a sort of psychotherapeutic approach to anxiety as opposed to depression, wierd!!
Still to use my old training, it is clear to me that practitioners of whatever ilk are very prone to narcissism, that is they feel their method is the right one , the best one, and use a variety of defence mechanisms to write off their failures!Glenn
