I have had lots of therapy with no benefit. Well over a decade, in fact. Now, I find an article -- in Psychology Today, no less -- which says that dwelling on the bad things in the past actually makes mental illness worse. This is the opposite of what I was led to believe in psychotherapy, where dwelling on bad things in the past was supposedly crucial for overcoming mental illness.
