I found it thoroughly toxic. It bred self-absorption, rumination, preoccupation with therapist/therapy, helplessness, dependency. It was stressful and exhausting. It amplified existing problems, and created new problems. It solved nothing. It was miserable, pointless drama.

The only benefit was in the deprogramming I did on my own, and that has been very helpful.

I see a big difference between healthy self-awareness cultivated through organic means, and obsession with one's problems and defects as a result of contrived processes.
