I agree and went through similar experiences.
I will however mention for the other readers that not all modes and schools of therapy see "digging up the past" as essential, in fact I believe this is a point of contention.
Methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Theory, I believe, focus much more on "OK, but how does that influence your behavior? Should it?"
- DoreenMichele 8y agoI was in couple's counseling briefly with my husband. He also was very briefly in therapy on his own. He was extremely introverted. He hated telling all this private stuff to a counselor. One day, I told him "You don't have to go to therapy. I don't care if you go to therapy or not. Therapy is a means to an end. Therapy per se doesn't matter. I only want our marriage to be better. I don't care how that happens." So he quit both his own therapy and couple's counseling. And he was promptly and permanently a better husband. There are many paths.
- loco5niner 8y agoGreat point. As a fellow introvert, I think I would also be better off.
