No. That's not what it's there for. (Why not?)
You change. I started therapy in 74 and went until 88 or something like that.
I'm a very different person in some ways, but I'm not happier. I do enjoy things more, but then I like them less too. I'm better at entertaining myself and like my own company more. I like colours more, the sky, the trees, this wonderful world with these problematic humans in it and for this particular one my time here now is, I can see, limited, which helps me hate it less and even enjoy it more.
