I just saw the comments on therapeutic relationships link above.
Based on the relationships link Perna provided and how other describe CBT, it is not what I'm doing.
The description of humanistic therapy seem to match with my T approach to me anyway.

The therapist does not help the client gain insight by leading them along a road towards the final goal of an insight the therapist has known all along;, but rather, the therapist helps the client gain insight by reflecting back the client's feelings and thoughts so that s/he can learn insight on their own and teach the therapist.

I kind of like that approach so I'm going to stick with it for a while longer.

I think why this thread is interesting to me is because I've never experienced a relationship like the one you have with a therapist. Since it is new to me I want to define, analyze, and reflect on everything and make sure I'm not missing something. In doing so I fear that I may be stuck in the very pattern of behavior that creates problems in my life.

Have any of you been this %#@&#! about therapy? Did you at one point find a way to simply quit thinking and simply allow yourself of react, respond, and experience the connection? If so, did you find it helpful or did you end up getting more confused and messed up in RL.
