I have some opinions about therapy being the art of asking people questions in order to trick them into telling themselves things that nobody else can tell them.

I've had more than a couple coworkers over the years who pull me into random decisions because they think I ask good questions. Part of me would rather be known for having good answers, but it's better than being discounted, and practically it may end up being more effective.

That’s exactly what therapy is - you’ll never get a “diagnosis” out of a good therapist. Especially in fields like CBT. The point being to make you think (cognitive) about your response/actions (behavioral).
