CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy)

I have to say, I tried CBT, and found it rather distressing where they constantly ask "why", and if you don't know the answer, they still aks why you don't know and it gets infuriating, so I can attest to its irritance, as I stopped engaging and said to the counselor, "listen, I don't think CBT is working, please can I try talking therapies" and for me, talking to someone and having a dialogue is MUCH better than "why" every 5 seconds, also with Talking therapies, you explore why you feel the way you do without all the questioning, instead its more like a discussion with someone who cant judge you :D

I think it probably depends on what sort of therapist you get. I had a counselling session once where I was asked about an event "how did it make you feel?" that's too open a question! I didn't know how I felt at the time and I still don't! 

This happens to me when I go for a medication review at the doctors and the GP or the pharmacist will ask how have you been doing on the medication and I’m trying explain how and I can’t explain it. 

What helps me is to write notes down so when I get to speak to the GP or anybody I have it right in front of me. 

Yeah I know what you mean. It's too vague. But if they asked me more specific questions it'd be easier. Then what usually happens is i think clearly what i should've said after ive left. Also I find it difficult to explain myself.

On a social level if a question is too vague I might say "in what sense?" Maybe I need to do this in more formal settings.
