This topic came out of a reply to another post... And I know sometimes it is hard not to get bogged down in the details of therapy.

Honestly I am really curious about others experiences/perceptions. One of the things I have gotten from PC is realizing that I use therapy very differently than a lot of people here. My T is more of a mentor/coach I guess. PC's greatest gift to me has been to help me see how very many different perspectives there are.

It is nice to know I am not alone in wanting to be in "therapy" for self improvement rather than needing to be in therapy.
