Winter,
For me, therapy is a time and place where I can travel within and find my true self, whom I lost somewhere along the way. My therapist provides a reflection of what I am putting out there and don't notice. He helps me to clarify my thinking, supports me during crisis, nudges me in the right direction when I veer off course and provides analysis of my unconscious dreams. But most of all he listens. What we are trying to accomplish in therapy is to develop a relationship where I feel safe enough to take the risks I need to get well and whole, facing all of those things about me that I don't want to face. The relationship is always developing and the work is always changing.
