I asked my therapist last week if a person has to suspend their disbelief in order for therapy to work and she said for some, like me, probably so, but then she said she would have to think about it some more, which meant it would not come up again unless I press it and even then she will probably ask me if this is how I want to spend my time in therapy. It's frustrating.
