Why else go? why pay or have insurance pay? Doesn't make sense to go if you actually think it is "inherently flawed" across the board or that your money and time are for nothing. Basic trust and belief in the process is undermined by such ideas. And I still don't understand where they come from.

You know, honestly, looking back at my original post, I now think I was just tantruming over the fact my therapist won't gratify my desire to hear him say he loves me. Do I really think therapy is inherently flawed? I don't know, I hope to find out. I think it is shocking how dangerous it feels. I am a reasonable together person, but this feels like it could unhinge me. It's dangerous to care about another person, when they can hurt you, and because I care so much that makes him and the whole situation dangerous.
