This is turning into a thick subject;
I imagine that many days, maybe months,
maybe years are spent on analysis with
a therapist. Perhaps it helps some people
to cope by learning ways of behaving that
did not know before meeting the therapist.

In my case, there would be a number of
obstacles i think why this kind of therapy
is not for me:

1. I don't believe that someone with
a psych. degree knows more than i do - i have
two university degrees and almost finished
the doctorate by a course. I'm not bragging --
just saying that i think i have the rational
capability to analyze problems - my problems
are not mine, but other people's.

2. My doctor does not believe i need a therapist.
He believes i need drugs.

3. My doctor, even if he did believe in
CBT, is not able or willing to take me off
my drugs.

4. I have lived most of my life with the
problems and habits i have inherited. I do
not have enough time left now to restructure
my life.

5. I know what i want.

6. I believe that i am fortunate to have the
life i have, problem-filled as it may be in
the light of the misery about 95% of the human
race lives in. In a way, i do not want the
yuppy lifestyle, which i think CBT is part of.
