Anyone have any advice on this? I hate the way CBT makes me feel but I can’t seem to find a therapist that doesn’t do it. The few I’ve tried that did “therapy tailored to your needs” just did CBT lite. Psychology today has been my main way of finding providers, are there other sites? Is there something I should be looking for specifically?

    I agree with this. I had 2 CBT therapists before my current therapist and both times it felt really condescending/invalidating to me. Questions like “have you considered that your anxiety is not rational?” felt really off the mark and when I said “yeah of course I know it’s not rational,” they didn’t have anything to add beyond that. It wasn’t helpful to me at all.
