I don't know if this is going to be helpful, but just in case you find some value in it even though it's not exactly what you're asking...

Therapy didn't work for me. I tried many different therapists, several psychiatrists and quite a few different meds. And I made zero progress. What finally enabled me to emerge from the darkness was meditation, as strange as that sounds. Yoga is also very helpful to quiet the mind because it forces you to focus on the present moment. To manage my emotions and to overcome the debilitating anxiety that's been preventing me from doing what I want/need to do since I was a kid, I found another very weird technique called EFT or tapping. To keep me on track with regards to pursuing my goals, I find self-hypnosis to be very helpful as long as I do it consistently.

All of this I learned and practice for free by the way. I'd be happy to provide the resources that will get you started if you're interested.

I apologize if this is too far from the scope of your question and I hope someone else can post a more insightful reply
