You're right, it doesn't address the core issue. It basically ignores the underlying issue and it implies that the solution is to go from one therapist to another until you get what you want.
I'm not a big fan of Kathy Broady. I know she claims to have many years experience as a therapist, but I stumbled upon her website recently and the more I read, the more uneasy I felt. I finally realized it was because she uses a very subtle form of misrepresentation -- if you read closely you'll see that all these "professional consultants" are actually just one person -- Kathy Broady.
And then I saw that she charges something like $45 a month to join a discussion forum, which totally blew me away.

Conversation with my therapist:

Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."

It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
Thanks for this!
