I started out skeptical and I remain so. The stages I had were ask therapist about how therapy works, get rebuffed by therapist who said she could not explain, read a ton of textbooks and took classes on the subject, still think it is hokum but figured out a way for the woman to be somewhat useful. The way the woman is useful is in no way the way those people write about themselves or in their textbooks. My frustrated stage was trying to figure out how what the woman was doing was in any related to why I was there. It never became clearer.
