In all of my carping I have never once indicated I felt that the therapy given patients was incomplete. My complaint has always been with CMT as formulated, not as practiced.
Theory says that patients are highly motivated to disprove their pathogenic beliefs. That's not necessarily true, as was the case with Kathy. Nevertheless, her therapist started giving her the support she needed from Hour 2! Only because of this support did Kathy eventually have the courage to confront her crippling beliefs.
I can see that nothing short of a detailed explanation of the distinctions I am making will put this issue to rest. I'm working on it, but it will take some time.
