Maybe that's the really frightening thing. Therapy can't fix you, it's just a tool and it's still up to you to either use it correctly or abuse it.
After all, even with the best therapist, a client who doesn't want to get better isn't going to.
But therapy will certainly give a client what they expect to get from it. Otherwise they won't keep paying. I'm still grateful that I had that experience because it helped me to grow.

I learned also. But it came at enormous cost and the damage far outweighs the meagre benefits. I don't see therapy as a tool for getting better. I see it as a palliative instrument that keeps you wanting more and people end up continuing to pay because some part of them longs for this beyond all reason. Which I understand cuz I became a junkie in the most horrible way. But I know some people can make use of it.
