Ya' know - I have never thought of CBT as 'invalidating' - but you're right, it absolutely can be (not that it can't be effective as well, but...). I had just never thought about it that way...Perhaps that's my beef with 'Dr. Phil' - my grandmother quotes him to me all the time and it drives me batty! My T doesn't like him, and I tell my grandmother all the time - "if only it were as easy as he'd like you to believe."
Hmmm....
