Do you have any ideas about what kind of treatment you would like? Sometimes if you dont have any idea what you want its difficult for people to take an initial stab at guessing what might help?

People can be full of clever sounding one liners and yes its infuriating when they get banded around - even medical professionals will say silly things. Think about what is really bothering you and try and communicate it. Write it down or draw a diagram!

The problem is exactly as you said - stubborness is a form of resistance - theres a thin line between objecting with good cause and resistance. It may not work in your favour.

Sorry to end on a bum note. But im no pianist!
