This is just my experience. I hate simple talk therapy because it dredged up the bad but doesn't give you skills for dealing with it. (A nightmare for obsessive minds like mine!)

This is such a misunderstanding of talk therapy. I don't where to begin.
'Doesn't give you skills'. I think wall know what they are. Therapy gives you, a you, it's you that knows what you can do.
Is not just the talking in therapy that heals, it's the containment that goes on that allows one to mature. To become individualized, it's in individualism where we find all the answers.
