Well put! I attended cognitive psychoterapy for one year. The basic idea of that therapy was that I have unrealistic beliefs about myself, and it should help me when we analyze my beliefs and see how they are not true. Like, I constantly felt that I'm not good, that I'm bad, wrong and non-accepted. But I already knew that it is not true - but that doesn't make the feeling go away. I said to the therapist, half jokingly "See, I already know that my beliefs are wrong. That is what they kept telling me when I was kid. How is it supposed to help me if we once again examine all the ways my beliefs and feelings are wrong and untrue?"

After that year I found a therapist whose way of working was more suited for me. A year with that another therapist, and I was ready to buy my current house =)
