I'm actually glad that it is my therapist's job to help me. I mean that's why I hired him.
I certainly wouldn't pay someone to just listen and not try to help. It's his job to figure me out, help me figure myself out and help with my healing from some pretty pretty nasty stuff.
I trust him, but I had to be willing to go there. I had to be willing to give him the information he needed in order for him to help me.
Nope, psychotherapy isn't for everyone. In fact, it kinda sucks to be honest. But on the whole, I think it helps more than it sucks.
It is, on occasion, transformative - or at least it is for me.
