The answer to the OP is a resounding "NO". They can't help you with anything. You have to know the answers yourself. The therapist is not allowed to teach you anything.. they just use their little tricks to coax you into teaching yourself. And that is great if you know the answers. But if you don't .... you're stuffed. The T isn't allowed to give you any advice whatsoever unless you are a risk to yourself or others (in which case they will schedule you). But its all on our shoulders, basically. That's what I have learnt in my 4 years of therapy and 4 years of university.
