I think your T is a keeper so far! Therapy isn't just about working through memories and hard stuff.

Because events in life cause changes in our thinking and behavior, it's quite apropos to work on the day to day issues and thus work on changing the approach and reprocessing of such issues so that good thinking and behaviors develop.

That's your ultimate goal anyway, right? To live so as the past doesn't affect how you feel and think in the present.
