YOU are the one saying therapy is about getting told who you are..or getting help for "this"..
if a therapist tries to do what you are saying, they are not doing a good job..and like all things, its a personal responsibility to make judgements around good and bad therapy situations..
therapy is inherently a hugely positive thing for people that need it...it just is..
There are bad therapists, and way to many of us hide in therapy or live day to day for therapy (as opposed to just LIVE, and use therapy to live BETTER)....
a good therapist would have helped you get to your current place (which is a wonderful place) FASTER
I find it a constant undertone here that people that don't use therapy are ANTI therapy...which is just ridiculous..
