Hey Sigi,
When I was in the looney bin, the therapy was a joke. No doctor had anything to say except a platitude or cliche. (I imagine some places are better.) One fellow, (I'm guessing now; what did I know then?), was ramping into full mania. We would talk off and on about god and whatever, until I finally told him I couldn't discuss god because I was being triggered. He stroked my arm gently and said "Your father hurt you very deeply, and that was wrong." A more significant moment than the preceding two years of therapy compressed.
He was in lock-down that night. I never saw him again.
