Psychotherapy is inherently flawed--for me. I wanted to feel more competent, more adult, more autonomous, more socially fluid. Instead therapy lured me to a parental, submissive, relationship in which I felt accountable to them and looked to them for interpretations and wisdom. Any "insight" from therapy was merely speculative and certainly not emotionally freeing. And it instructed me how to be pessimistic and self-involved. I found it only regressive and feel vulnerable I was so fooled. (Please note, I'm not stating its effectiveness universally.)
