[quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the therapist and on the patient's goals. I went to therapy to sort through a depression. At first, my therapist helped me feel better about all of it. But he didn't just do that - he held up a mirror to me so that I saw my own role in dysfunctional relationships. And then we worked on ways to change how I dealt with that. Was it hard work for me? Yes. Did it help me overcome a deep depression? Yes. Do I recommend therapy? Absolutely. It also made me a better, more empathetic parent. Fifteen years later I still use those tools. If I had a less confrontational and provocative therapist (and I do not mean those words as pejorative at all), I'm sure I would have felt temporarily soothed. And ditto if I had been resistant to change. [/quote]
