> From your other post, you seem very logical. So why is it that CBT is not useful for you?
Hmm.
You are in intense distress
Therefore your cognitions must be faultyThis is true because
Faulty thinking CAUSES intense distress
And implies that
Faulty thinking is the only cause of intense distress
In the process of dragging my 'faulty cognitions' out of me they require me to JUSTIFY my distress. In such a way that I endorse a faulty cognition which is then used to beat me over the head with as an example of my faulty logic. If I resist this process, I am being resistant and cannot be helped.
It is too invalidating of my experience
I am required to come up with 'acceptable' goals that I am unable to do
It insists on focusing on the presentI have just had a lot of bad experience with very rigid therapists.
