My understanding is that supportive therapy concentrates on propping up the client's existing defense mechanisms rather than challenging them to replace them with healthier ones.

So he doesn't challenge me or confront me as much as he would in more exploratory therapy. He does manage to work in CBT as long as he makes it palatable to me first. :)
