I'm not sure that the lawyer hat is an impediment at all, but I think the critical thinking ability in therapy is well spent thinking about oneself and one's behaviours.

With some reflection about my own therapy, I've come to the conclusion that the real magic in therapy was its ability to spur that particular kind of inquiry.

The goal of my therapist was to move me toward myself, and my own intrinsic healer.

I just had to step up to plate and do it.
