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.
I can relate to what you sare saying. I found myself so withdrawn from whats going on in life lately because I spend so much time being self-absorbed.
The preoccupation with therapist/therapy is becoming too real and I dive into it more as life doesnt meet my expectations. would I just need to face whats being thrown at me otherwise?... instead I escape into this safe environment of someone who gets paid to take 'all ****'.
Life doesnt work like that, people do get angry, upset, you are in the wrong sometimes and this therapy setting promotes this irrational compassion.
Thanks for this!
