Hi Raven,
Wow, I thought I had pretty much read about every kind of therapy this is, but I've never heard of that one! But the rest of her tool box sounds like she's pretty equipped to help you. My therapist was originally trained as a behaviorist but is a compulsive reader and over thirty years of practice has managed to incorporate anything and everything that works. He's definitely practicing with a psychodynamic approach, at least for clients like myself, who would benefit from it.

Hmmm...I've never heard of mental imagery. I'll have to look it up. What of read of motivational interviewing, I can see aspects that my T does. She listens and empathizes, but has me do the talking and come to conclusions on my own - week, with her gentle questioning. If I go to an intellectual mindset, she totally steers me away from that. The thing I don't think I like about it is it stays completely in the present feelings and she always says she doesn't worry about my past or memories, that it's all tied together with where I am now. Even when I told her about my rape and dads inappropriate touch, she didn't flinch and have me talk about it. Not sure yet if I like her way or not. I like her, I just question if it's best for me. BTW, I don't really know much about CBT. Can anyone fill me in on the aspects that most not like about it? I don't know if my T uses it or not.
