> Don't discount CBT. It is a very successful therapy. It works really well for a lot of people.
Thanks falls. I appreciate your thoughts. I was just so taken off guard yesterday when he said CBT and then something about 12 appts. I just couldnt think after that, just kind of went blank.

> Make sure you let him know that you have issues that you haven't talked about (and if you can - just give him a one word summary???) so that he can better assess whether he can help you.He does know I was raped, he knows I"ve been in 2 bad car wrecks, and he knows I had some bad therapy with few boundaries. I just haven't been able to talk about the details with him yet. I told him I will at the next appt.
I've never even told my husband the details of when I was raped. He knows I was raped, we've talked about it, but told me that he wouldn't ever press me for details unless I was comfortable with it. I never have been with anyone, not even my husband.

> The therapist and his relationship with the patient is more important that the type of therapy that is done. Keep an open mind.Thanks, I appreciate that falls. Now I wish I could go sooner, and just get this all out of the way. I get too anxious in between. I know most everyone can identify with that.
