Agreed. I personally feel that the key to recovery is not fighting, but acceptance. And at least traditional TEA-based CBT is fighting. Like yourself, this has NEVER worked well for me, ESPECIALLY when it comes to improving self-acceptance and self-esteem. Then again, I guess you can't force yourself to like yourself.
