Sounds like a therapist that just didn't mesh with you. If they're just doing routine maintenance and not suggesting ways to improve either they're not suited to your situation, or there's something else confounding the situation.
You don't have to completely put on blinders to be content despite being without. You can see all of the things you're missing, or actively working towards but not at yet, and not be thrust into the middle of an emotional response. This is simply the point of my statement.
I want to commend you for what you're doing. It doesn't feel good, but you must remain effective. You can't re-align schemas through Internet comments however, don't burn yourself out.
Hey, man, thanks for the kind words! I enjoy these kinds of conversations, I like to think I'm working towards making the world a better place, no matter how small. If one person resonates with what I've said, I feel accomplished.
I want to thank you for your messages here. I agree with promethil that you need to consoder yourself, i think texts like yours can do quite something good. Sure you won't heal someone with a few messages. However, I was brought to a mindfulness training* mostly by a reddit chain of comments and this helped me, along other things, a lot, getting out of difficult times.

Thanks for your message! I'll take a look at that app, for sure. I'm leaps further than I was, but not where I'd like to be. Hope you have an excellent day, friend!
