It seems like most posters here are in therapy because of past abuse or trauma.

Are there other posters here, like me, without a sordid history?

I wonder how therapy differs for people who are screwed up "just cuz". I can't imagine myself making progress with a psychoanalyst, for instance, because there's just not much material to work with. There is no narrative to weave...at least not one that I would believe. My upbringing didn't help matters any, but it's not the cause of anything.

There are stories and experiences discussed here that I just can't relate to. Like, I don't know what a "rupture" is. Or the need to write lots of stuff to my therapist. I wonder if it's because the transference issues are a lot different for a non-abused person versus one who was abused. Anyone know?

Also, I don't know what people mean by "healing". "Healing" implies I can go back to a state where I am "all better". But I guess because there is no discrete "wounding" event for me, I have a hard time imaging where I am injured and how anyone would be able to heal me. I am with my therapist because she provides support. But that's different than being with her because I expect her to heal me. Is thinking of a therapist as a supportive force more than a curative treatment a typical thing?

Am I making any sense? Or am I overthinking? I guess I'm feeling disconnected here and trying to find out why.
