I did CBT therapy for 8 1/2 years, and then switched to this therapist 3 1/2 years ago. It took probably 1 1/2 years to trust this guy enough to believe that I didn't have to watch over the therapy. I never did trust my first therapist that way.
When I stopped trying to control the therapy, I was more able to be introspective - to see what was going on with me. It also let me be less judgemental of myself - to accept that whatever I was feeling was what I was feeling and to go from there. Rather than to try to feel the "right" way, because it fit my view of how I "should" feel.
I have made more progess in the last 2 years than the previous 9.
Good luck!
