I've spun that circle many times pb. I think what everyone else has said is very true. Try replacing therapy with some other activity in the same sentence. I have a hard time believing I'm not wasting t's time with my menial problems too, but when I sub in something else I can think more clearly. For example, I'm not wasting my yoga instructor's time because I can't do a handstand because she gets paid whether I can or not, and she helps me to work towards crazy things.
