I very much relate to those "traits" in the OP and concluded the same after a while, that therapy is not really for me - I just pay a lot of money and more use it as a distraction than anything else. I gave up on it in less than a year with both Ts but do not regret trying, it was an interesting experience, also to arrive at that conclusion, especially because originally I assumed that I would want to do it long-term, given my interest in psychology and tendency for introspection. I usually get much more out of professional assistance that is centered around specific and more practical goals and very personal discussions with friends. I can imagine using therapy effectively if it is just short-term consultations and seeking advice, focused on a specific purpose. I do not believe a T would have to know everything about me to provide an opinion on something specific, much like seeing a medical specialist.
