> Well that's a great question. In the first few years she did a lot of basic CBT stuff, challenging distorted thoughts, and also just offering alternative interpretations of others' behavior. I had a real tendency to assume people were, well, more evil and spiteful than they probably were. So a lot of it was just educating me in how people operate. I felt that was all really valuable.
I'm not saying you aren't better off without her at this point. It does seem as if you had gotten to the point where she was no longer able to be helpful. But do you think it's possible that some of this thinking is influencing your overall view of therapy? What you described sounded as if there were some lasting positive effects.
Perhaps not worth the cost. Or may have been worth the cost if we could just figure out the ideal moment to leave.
