I've been in therapy for about the past 6 months. I didn't have a job when I graduated college and not having a job and not being able to find one made me feel depressed and anxious. So I went to a therapist. Now, I'm working at a good job and will soon start a great promotion that will take me to the state capital.
Now, I don't feel depressed or anxious and I want to graduate from therapy. But here is the problem: My therapist believes in "positive thinking," and I don't. Maybe that makes me a pessimist. If so, oh well. But I don't believe in thinking "things will work out," because in many cases and for many people they don't. I think that right now things look likely to work out for me personally. But I think blindly believing that things will work out is what leads people to speed, use drugs, and engage in generally risky behavior ... that I think is the true insanity. Should I just lie to her and tell her I believe? I'm kind of frustrated.
