The T has so far contributed to your problems.

1) Before therapy

You had: the problem of worrying too much.
You did not have: the problem of blaming yourself for not trying the T's approach hard enough.

2) After beginning therapy

You now have, still: the problem of worrying too much.
You also now have: the problem of blaming yourself for not trying the T's approach hard enough.

So, a net loss.
Thanks for this!
