One way I view the therapy experience is that it (hopefully) serves as a ''corrective emotional experience'' in which maladaptive behavior/thinking patterns are played out in therapy and the new experience with the therapist replaces the old ones, thus creating a new 'emotional template'....

THere's a lot more to it, but this is one dimension of it.
