I find all therapists are wily - not just the one I see. I also see a difference in threads where the OP writes something about themselves versus threads which are more general discussion. In threads where OP is like "my appointment or life or therapist is not going well" get a different response from "What do you see x as OR how do you do y".

Has therapy helped? I don't know. I hate there is no way to measure it. I do other things too such as meditation and exercise so I would not really know which to credit for any shift.
