I don't like coffee one bit. I never drink it. But I like the flavor, and enjoy cappuccino and coffer ice cream.

When I first started dating my ex husband we went out for coffee all the time. I drank it, but I just wanted to be there. Not drink the coffee. Later when I told him that he thought that was the sweetest thing eva.

Every so often I have this semi-horrifying moment of realization that I am hypothetically supposed to be some kind of role model for what it's like to be a healthy, well-adjusted person.  I just had such a moment.  It came after an hours-long conversation which was ultimately at least half comprised of "your mom" jokes.

Therapist yes.  I don't follow any one particular school of thought (which would be wicked impractical with the population I'm working with anyway*), but I've worked a little bit of cognitive-y stuff into a session or two and prolly used a CBT technique or two without realizing it.

*more often it's like "so, how much would YOU like to cut back on the drug addictions?"  and/or "ok, but are the voices telling you to do anything BAD?"  and/or "Yes, yes it DOES suck that you're hopelessly poor and a billion horrible things have happened to you.  Let's brainstorm ways you can stop digging the hole deeper, ok?"

Lots of the people I work with have anxiety disorders, but there are pretty much no pure cases (i.e. where that is their "only" problem or even their primary one).

Were you seeing a therapist weekly, or were you at more of a day treatment program/group-based thing?  I can't imagine doing individual therapy "just" CBT, but groups often seem to.

I was in a residential unit for 12 weeks, so I was living with other people with mostly OCD and BDD, but there were a couple others like PTSD too. we had groups but the therapy was all individual.

1.  Of course people have disclosed crimes.
2.  I am neither at liberity nor permitted to tell the police of past crimes, unless they warrant a 51-A being filed (which would mean recent and/or ongoing of abuse of a child or an elder).  I am neither at liberty nor permitted to NOT act in some fashion or other to try and prevent my clients from harming themselves or others, so if they disclose plans for future crimes such as assault or murder, I have to act, just as I do if they say they're planning suicide (and seem, through what they say/don't say/various factors, likely to actually act on it).   Though, if they have a specific target for harming someone else, the police may need to be involved (called a Tarasoff), where as if they're simply suicidal and/or homiciald to the point of danger to self or others, it's an issue of having them evaluated for hospitalization.  Lot of gray area, but them's the generalities.

The interesting part is "how do I document this" when I DON'T have to break confidentiality but do have to accurately document the session.  Records can be supoena'ed.  I've stopped folks before and reminded them of this before they could disclose something potentially damaging, so they could make an informed decision about what to say.  We have forms people fill out saying they know the limits of confidentiality but nobody ever bloody reads them.

/wonders what "pure" CBT individual therapy would actually end up looking like

I would guess there mjust be other clinical skills integrated or it would never work.  CBT in and of itself is all technique-focused.  Like... well, like calling toppings without ice cream a sundae, I guess is the best similie I can come up with.

Whether or not it is okay to pretend to be  25-year old bisexual single mother working on her PhD and contemplating Medical School in order to fool a bunch of hypocritical pricks on another site who hate me. It's fun, but hard. The guys are all hitting on me and I feel bad with the people I like and respect trying to be friendly as this new nice girl. I am proving my point though that it is more the messenger than the message.

Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems
