Yes, I agree w/your doc-self-acceptance is a big part of it!! But you can't go there until you understand and process the emotions, imo.
I've done talk therapy for years, but it wasn't until I started feeling when I realize wtf I am the way I am. Recognizing and relating to transference is what differentiates my experience now from CBT (I agree too-fluff) and or just talking.
It helps to understand what its all about when you go there. Here's the overview:

You have to let yourself be vulnerable, and that takes lots of trust. Experienced therapists make a difference, I believe, in addition to a good match. And the older pdocs who do therapy often want to only take on the simpler cases, those who have mild problems, from what I've read and heard. They are difficult to find, especially with insurance situations. I am very sorry to hear about yours. I've been there too. I am lucky to have found a great T.
Anyway, if you talk and talk to a T, without feeling, nothing changes. Don't know if that's your situation, but it sure explains mine.
