My T want to try CPT again, have never completed formal CPT, I have done modified versions with this T in the past but am considering trying this again. The thing is he wants me to sign two different treatment contracts. One is the standard that comes from the CPT treatment guide, the second is one that he has modified for his clients. The thing is his modified contract states that the client agrees cpt to refrain from using alcohol or drugs within 2 hours before or after homework assignments which is not part of the formal program. I understand, that using alcohol and drugs are normal avoidance behaviors, but I also feel that with the limited alone time I have it is an agreement that I am not willing to give. I am not a heavy drinker but I like to have a glass of wine in the evening and my doctors (plural) approve of my taking small doses of rec. marijuana to help me sleep rather than taking a prescription pill. If I do CPT his way that means I have to give both of those up as I have a grand total of about 4 hours a night from the time I clock out from work to the time I go to bed.
Have any of you that have done CPT, been asked to make a similar committment for the duration of the program? Am I just being a whiner to not want to do this extra step in a processing therapy that will already be difficult enough?
