I should be able to do it without a therapist. I am not sure a therapist is going to matter one way or the other and I have seen no evidence of it helping but I do keep going back. I am not worried about the therapist at all nor do I think I am wasting the therapist's time in any fashion, nor any thought that someone else might be more deserving of the therapist than I am. I pay the therapist, she has slots open for others = other screwed up people don't enter into my therapy thoughts - that is for them and the therapist to work out. So I don't think either category quite fits for me.
