Here's a couple of other therapist website blurbs I found randomly:

"integrate the many parts of our brains and ourselves. This is a collaborative process that heals old wounds."

"I help people resolve the emotional and relationship problems caused by painful past events."

"cultivate a deep sense of personal integrity."

"find your innermost truths"

"a more emotionally satisfying life."

To have these sorts of intentions, seems fairly reasonable. But to offer them in the form of claims… seems rather nutty (and yes a bit cult-y). Can these T's back these claims up with some sort of empirical data or success stories showing that they have indeed facilitated, with some regularity, something as profound as healing old wounds, reintegrating fractured parts of the self, resolving emotional problems, or finding innermost truths?

I have seen 7 different T's (for a month or more) and 6-7 for just a couple sessions. Never had the sense that the above sorts of transformations could take place with any of them. Mostly it was a lot of purposeless talking, or in one case an incredibly destructive bloodbath.
Thanks for this!
