I see a psychiatrist, who does therapy, approximately once a month. She has helped me a lot, but not like the individual who trained me. He introduced me to an entire new world that allowed the real me to come out and use my gifts, that no one outside of my family has ever appreciated. I have learned a lot more about myself through work than by talking to someone for 50 minutes.

Not sure what it was, but it sure worked with the therapy culture to keep me blaming and fault-finding in myself, as if, if I could find all the faults, then I -- in "alliance" with the therapist -- could fix them. Sounds "good" and noble and idealistic and scientific, doesn't it? I sure thought so. Super sucks.

I'm not sure about scientific, because most therapy theories seems to overlook environment and genetics. The seem to focus more on all of us being with the same temperament. Such BS.
Therapy should be customized. The generalized approach doesn't seem to help people with different cognitive styles very well.
