I think you're putting too much reliance on therapy. You can't think your way to self-empowerment. I was in a similar boat as you at your stage of life. If you're not working, try to get a job. Learning to hold down a job is one of the most self-empowering things you can do.

If what education you now have doesn't get you much of a job, that might inspire you to tackle school with extra determination. It can be depressing to discover that a lot of what goes in to making a life is boring and tedious effort, but that's how it is. Best to just start doing it.

Succeeding at accomplishing something that's an effort to get done is about the only way self-empowerment comes about.
