hi cb,
i found that cbt worked for me for the here and now issues, but not for resolving anything related to the past. Just as an example...my kids were getting a little (read between the lines LOT) spoiled, my ex T was kind of a harda** regarding discipline LOL BUT he was also great at getting me in gear to see the bigger picture that IF I wanted to have healthy kids who respected the hard earned dollar, and didn't expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter, that I needed to start tending to myself and get my emotional house in order. By giving them responsibility I was taking care of me, and taking care of them and their future. He also helped with my marriage, and was a pretty good motivator.
He didn't delve into my past well enough to see my bigger picture, and actually wasn't good at handling my real issues, but I think that was because it was a poor fit. I think maybe, as has been said so many times, that the "fit" is more important than the bent.
I hope that helps some.
