"One point to consider is whether the obstacle is central to your issues or not...But if you have a fear of heights and your interpersonal issues with the therapist are getting in the way, leaving therapy could be a good option."
Wouldn't that be better written as, "if you have a fear of heights and your therapist insists on holding sessions on the edge of a cliff, you might want to move on"?
