Thanks for sharing your experience, sid...actually, I didn't make this clear,
but I've been in therapy for almost two years now (minus a few months' gap),
so these aren't new questions to me. In fact I really like my therapist
and I think that having a rapport with her is really important to
whatever it is that we're up to...I'm just a very analytical person,
and she doesn't follow the CBT model, which seems to me to be
the simplest/most behaviorist/easiest to understand. And yet CBT
also seems reductive to me at times, so I'm not concerned that she
doesn't use it as her sole method. She has tried explaining her
school of thought to me a few times (feminist/psychosocial/something-or-other),
and I sort of understand it, but I still don't quite grasp how it
relates to me feeling better. Probably something I'm fastening onto
to avoid thinking about the real point of why I'm there. :}
