I completely agree with your point. All I was trying to say was that in the finding of your true nature there is no help.

My pragmatic point in therapy threads is that your success with self treatment is not relevant to a person that can use therapy to proceed...
Your well deserved success is about you, its about your courage and determination....not about how helpful therapy can be..
and sometimes we are so fragile and needy, that adding the idea that therapy is not a terrific resource only adds to the difficulty...
and I get a little defensive about it i guess...
It can feel like people without a headache telling someone with a headache that an aspirin is unneccessary..
