No, I'm confident about what I said. Exposure therapy is one part of CBT.

I did CBT for PTSD and death anxiety, the latter involving large bits of exposure therapy.

Do you have any evidence about men having issues with this sort of therapy or is that a personal observation?

Edit: honestly it sounds like you had a bad therapist experinece and that therapist has no idea what CBT is (and sorry to say, but neither do you particularly)

Edit: had to add the passive aggressive smiley :)
