Hi PP,
I strongly agree with Tabitha.
If you can find a copy, I recommend reading the book "You Can Feel Good Again" which starts from the simple premise that whatever you focus on is what you're going to get more of. The author, Richard Carlson, believes that many therapists unnecessarily increase and prolong unhappiness by focusing on the past, searching for sources of conflict, and asking clients to recall and relive painful life experiences.
It's wonderful that you've found new medicines that help you lead a happier and better-balanced life.
Now the question is, "Is your therapist helping you or holding you back?"
Best wishes,
Mark H.
