I love to hear stories such as this one, where deep insight has the potential to bring change. Dr. Bauman is right that sometimes therapy challenges us, and for some people they don't come back. Someone I know once went to a therapist and had an instantaneous negative reaction, feeling like the therapist was judging her. But she went back, reasoning that something was triggered in her emotions, and she wanted to understand what it was before giving up on this therapist. In further sessions she didn't find she liked him much more, but she did find that he was making her think, and that she realized some things that she needed to do to make life better. A few more months in and she had grown to appreciate him and the fact that his challenges brought growth.
