I'm sorry that you do not feel that therapy helped you. Just like clients are different in their needs and wants, therapists and therapies are different in their approaches, personalities and the like.
I don't think any one person can "make" someone happy. Yes, that must come from within. But with the helpful understanding of a trained professional, a therapist can help untangle the mess our brains have weaved.
Without a doubt, my therapist helps me lead a more productive, happier life. My husband, children, friends, co-workers -- in different ways have commented how they have seen positive changes in me and my decisions and how I handle situations.
I'm not sure how you defind "dependance". I am strongly attached to my T but I am not dependant upon her.
I am so glad she is a part of my life.
