For me, I came to understand that much of my reading about therapy was an attempt to control the process, and my therapist. I wanted my therapy to be just like "this" or "that" and I wanted my therapist to be just like "him" or "her".
I had to take a break from the reading and focus on what MY therapy was, which is not the therapy of books I've read. Some aspects are, yes. Others, not. I realized that is why there are so many books on therapy - there are many kinds of therapies and many kinds of therapists.

On the other hand, my therapist always encourages feedback, so if I felt strongly, I would go ahead and talk about it with her.
Thanks for this!
