I thought you might be, but I wasn't sure. Sarcasm doesn't always translate well in written form.

Learning to be proactive and to be my own strongest advocate is probably the most important skill I gained in therapy. It helped that I had therapists who were completely on board with that -- in fact, they saw that as probably the most important thing for me to learn and always had those goals in mind. We had strong relationships, but they never encouraged overdependence, just healthy dependence -- the ability to ask for help when I needed it while at the same time the skills to handle stressors using healthy coping skills at the same time. They always emphasized that life was in my control now and I had the power to make my own choices, so I needed to consider those choices wisely. I don't see that as flawed therapy.

I do see lots of therapy discussion here on PC that I would never personally go for, but my issues are different than other peoples', so what may work for them is very likely different.
