I want to state right off the bat that I have never been in consultation with another therapist regarding my current therapy. I have, however, sought consultation in several other matters - none of which proved to be of any benefit whatsoever.

In my opinion, it might perhaps be more beneficial to discuss your questions with a professor of psychiatry/psychology. The answers might be more theoretical in nature, but one thing you could count on for sure - academics have absolutely no quandry at all about commenting on anything and everything.

Thus, I strongly suspect you would leave with something.

On a broader note, I guess I would wonder if there could be any answer that would satisfy your desire to know.

Seems to me that questions that start with "why" are often followed with "okay, but why?"

The potential to head down a rabbit hole could be something that followed from any sort of inquiry.

Don't know.

I do hope you will keep us posted when pursue this. It is a very interesting concept.
