I can relate to this a bit, but I was only honest with one therapist in my past. I've always thought of therapy as a bit of a game for me, especially since I have to continue to go to get my adhd meds. I just act normal, talk about things in my life that I already know the solution to, but I give her the satisfaction of thinking she can help me. I'll just build on things each session, watching and analyzing what she's doing to plan my next move. Like you, I have no desire to change, however, in the rare occasion that I do want an outside opinion on what to do, I bounce the idea off of her to see what her approach would be.

It's funny, my therapist is always telling me I should be a therapist myself. I think the most common response I get is "I feel like you don't even need me, you're so self aware," to which I reply "Well you're always giving me ideas, and helping me with what I can't figure out" while I think to myself "No ****, I just want my meds but apparently this is part of the 'process'."
Thanks for this!
