I found this book very helpful also. Going to a therapist is not like going to a dentist or a surgeon, where you just let them do their thing to cure you. It's more like Dancing With The Stars, where you try to train yourself to their level. Only nobody's watching, so yeah, it could go on forever and that's why people say therapy doesn't "work"? If you get my drift.
Thanks for this!
