Another well-beaten drum on this topic: why keep trying to change someone who isn’t going to change? If I wanted medicine and I went to Dr. SD, who refused to give me any medications because Western medicine sucks, why wouldn’t I then go to Dr. Ex-Hankster, a firm believer in medication and bonus leeches, instead?

Yes, that's true that it isn't a feature of all therapy and I did wonder about that as I typed it. I suppose I discount therapies which don't focus on process or depth work. Also, I imagine part of the confusion for LT is that there are some instances where some kind of process work happens and deeper exploration takes place, it's not like it's just CBT counselling for example. Given your attachment needs LT, it's not surprising that it would be hard for you to switch to a Dr Una, even if you liked the look of her leeches. Wait, I think I am confusing my metaphors. I thought it was about drums...
