That *would* be discouraging. Obviously that therapist could use some lessons in technique.
I think maybe they focus on wider issues to see if there is a pattern between other things going on in your life and your health concerns. Based on my own experiences, that's probably a valid technique.
It might be hard to find someone who does things just the way you'd like them done, but you should be able to find someone who is able to focus on your main concern, and explain the relationship between what they are asking you to do and how it will help the issue you are concerned with.
I can't think of any treatment other than CBT that would so specifically target a single issue and try to be very swift about resolution. Anyone else have any ideas? EMDR?
