That sounds very reasonable. Again, I wonder if I expected too much. Somehow I thought happiness was supposed to be a direct outcome of therapy. Like it would just remove the bad parts of me, and the person left would be happy.

I don't know. Maybe feeling generally OK most of the time? And truly happy every so often? And overall, content and at peace? That's what I imagine anyway.
