Hypothesis: it is your therapist who has no idea what s/he is doing.
Hypothesis: it is you who are making this unnecessarily harder than it needs to be.
Hypothesis: CBT may not be what is needed for your particular case.
Hypothesis: something else nobody has considered yet.
How confident do you feel to assign respective probabilities to these hypotheses?
I consider myself rational enough to debug myself, if and only if I decide an intervention is warranted. Otherwise, I like and accept myself as I am, I consider most of my traits, broadly speaking, as part of my ideal self, and would like to preserve most aspects about myself.
I don’t live inside your head, so I can’t be sure, but this part sounds like you have strong mental tools to get out of your depression at your own pace and on your own terms. I wouldn’t worry much.
Well, thanks. I’ve considered all of these possibilities, but I can’t say for sure which one is more probable than the others; to any given one I’d respond “maybe”.
