We followed a really simple CBT format at the beginning. Straight out of "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook". He also had handouts.
I don't think there was one assignment I didn't argue about. I couldn't name my feelings, so we spent an awfully long time arguing whether "ok" was a feeling.
I was a CBT nightmare.
I didn't really know how to use therapy either, I think. It was a time in my life where I was trying to make decisions, and I really wanted him to help me sort out the variables and decide. Apparently i didn't do it in a way usual in therapy because he would often look at a loss.
But all that time I also was attached like crazy, for no particular reason I can see.
