Therapy for me is life-saving. I'm blessed to have the T that I do and I'm glad I first walked in or else I wouldn't be able to type this to you now. My T has never said the "how do you really feel" or "I think the best thing for you to do is..." statements to me. I'm sure she never would. I'm sorry that therapy didn't work out for you and I hope you are able to move forward and find the change that you were looking to achieve when you started going.
