Distancing yourself from your T is not commonly considered a productive way to engage in therapy.

Your focus on a plan presumes that you have engaged enough in the process of therapy for your T is understand what the problem is.

And it reminds me of the zeitgeist at Big University here. Lots of energy gets spent on developing the "Strategic Plan." They bring in consultants. They assign committees. They have numerous meetings and vote several iterations of the Plan. But it's really just an excuse to avoid doing the work that is theoretically described in said plan.

I do appreciate your points of view around skepticism of therapy and therapists. I think it's important for clients to be empowered as part of their therapy and to be reminded that we are in the driver's seat, not our therapists. I'm not at all telling you not to continue repeating your point of view whenever you feel so inclined.

But I do think you should consider turning some of the skepticism towards yourself, your attitude, and your engagement of therapy. It might be a useful exercise for you.
