I agree with SD here. I think that many Ts use this kind of bolstering to establish your strengths and reflect them back to you so that you can see what kind of ground you're building on.

Being immobilized is a great reason to go to therapy, if that is in fact your problem. If you're completely content, then therapy seems gratuitous navel-gazing at worst, a waste of time at best. However, why are you on the meds? Do you want to remain on them indefinitely? Sometimes they can mask the very anxiety that can be a spur to change if it was not masked by meds. This may be an unpopular view and I think that medication can be life-saving and necessary but I think that *sometimes* working things out via an ongoing conversation can be equally transformative.

Is there any chance that you are using the notion of the therapist being wowed by your strength (I'm so strong; I simply soldier on) as a reason that you have filled in, which serves to keep you from fully entering this process?

It seems like you're kind of saying...I need to fish or cut bait. Either is good, but languishing between the two can be kind of a purgatory.
