Personal Perspective: Effective CBT can be healing. When provided poorly, it can be invalidating.
Strategies such as guided discovery, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral experiments are all part of CBT., I met with a therapist. Each week, I would bring in a mess of thoughts, fears, and emotions. I'd throw these down like puzzle pieces on the floor.
A traditional cognitive challenge. Each week, a few more pieces came together. I was free to leave the corner these limiting thoughts had held me in. I felt empowered.therapy seemed like the holy grail and I hoped to learn and master the technique. Simple. Evidence-based. I dug it."I can't focus," I blurted across the room."I'm struggling in my classes," I said.
A problem arises, however, on the matter of what's true. Psychotherapists, despite their training, are not arbitrators of the truth.My collegiate belief that I couldn't concentrate might indeed have been, in a technical sense, untrue. I could concentrate sometimes. Yet, the foundations of my difficulty did not lie beneath a stack of unhelpful beliefs. Challenging my complaint only led me to feel more alone.
