Um, okay...

So, I'm reading some of the 300 pages of reading I have due tuesday for Counseling Theories, and I just read about Person-centered therapy. WTF? It's a therapeutic style where the therapist basically provides no guidance, no explanation, no interpretation, and no diagnosis/treatment. Isn't that a lot like having a friend? Rogers was a dumbass.

Sheesh, I get more from talking to myself and imagining what Deanna Troi or Susan Silverman would say. What a waste of time and money? And you have to waste brain space learning that stuff? Weird.

I'm trying to figure my therapist out---what kind of therapy is it when the therapist tries to get you to just kinda "be okay" with feeling negative emotions/trauma/what not and isn't as concerned with replacing those feelings with something else?
