Great thread, thank you guys. I just wanted to add a small thing as I was re-reading it. EP has a great point, I think, about the difference between good and bad therapists here, and some systemic attitudes from the profession.
Many many years ago due to a really dark passage with my husband I was lucky enough to see a good one. It was a safe place where I could be for an hour, without feeling fear of my mate, and it made me look really deep into what I was doing and not doing. But I was lucky to have someone like a rock who very objectively made me look, and gave me tools to use on myself. I had a friend who was going through dark passage too and her therapist was singularly different.
