Or it could be an expensive waste of time, or worse (much worse). If the issue presently is that therapy is causing pain, the most logical solution is to stop therapy.
Committing to some long-duration reparenting scheme could be kinda nuts, especially if the therapist has not outlined any clear plan or methodology, nor given an accounting of her past successes and failures.
