Well, since your a T in training. I'd like to ask you a question, I hope you don't mind.Now that my T told me tonight that he's CBT, and that I "should" feel better after 12 sessions, but it might take as long as a year to ?(I don't know if he said finish), I feel at a complete loss. I shut down completely and didn't really want to talk about anything because I'm afraid I won't get anywhere, and I'll just be spinning my wheels. I know this is really negative thinking, but I can't seem to help it.
I have several issues from the past that I really need to deal with. Rape, bad therapy, two car wrecks that still bother me - not PTSD, but I don't think I ever really dealt with them. Too much stuff to just "fix" in a year or less. i"ve been through therapy b4, I know I can't do this in a year, and it scares me that I'll be left out in the cold.
I'm not sure CBT is right for this, is it? What if it comes to a year, and I'm still stuck? Then do I have to start all over again with someone else? I guess I'm just afraid of not fitting into this CBT mold. I feel depressed and sick.
Sorry to dump on you. I've felt depressed all day for no reason that I can think of.
