A question for here_today along with anyone else who may happen upon this thread that feels like participating is this:

Why do you want to be understood?

I made the most progress when I wasn't in any form of therapy at all. Therapy seems to really just enable me at the end of the day, as therapists I've seen have all been preoccupied with putting me into a box which of course I do not take kindly to. Diagnosing people is an industry, it's all about the money yet again so therapists won't bother too much with personality disorders, they'll stick to what looks valid on an insurance claim, schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, etc.

What's your Myers-Briggs personality type, here_today? I'm an INTJ. Most therapists seem to be emotion-oriented which works for many people, but for those of us who aren't emotion-oriented? Oh well!
