I have said this before and we've talked about this. He is definately of the opinion that people can benefit from therapy at so many different levels, you don't have to be feeling crummy to get something out of it.
It isn't him. It is me. I feel like I need to justify the support (and expense) and if I feel better, how can I? And for me, if I'm not absolutely suicidal or non-motivated, then I go to the "I'm strong enough to do this myself" place.
Yesterday my therapist asked, "doesn't anything about being attached to me feel good?" I said, "well, yes -- but that's not the point." He argued that this is totally the point, allowing myself to have support that feels good. It is a scary and powerful thing for me. And a core issue in my therapy.
*sigh* -- Need more cake.
