Never continue seeing a therapist you are smarter than.
This is a great point.
Find a therapist who resonates with you and who is much smarter than you in this area.
Therapists are like doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers, plumbers, stock brokers, engineers, and electricians -- Most of them suck! Find the talented 10%. The ones that really know their stuff and how to communicate it to YOU.
Shitty therapists are a waste of time!

Yes.
You must literally re-wire your brain. The brain is very malleable and moldable like clay. It will adapt into whatever patterns you create. A negative pattern will be reinforced and a positive pattern will be reinforced. Over time, these patterns get hard wired (neuron connections). That's why they can be so difficult to break and change. We must create the atmosphere, lifestyle, attitude, support system, and thought patterns in order to properly re-organize (re-wire) our brain.
Your brain is a piece of wet clay. You must form it everyday like a sculptor for a sculpture.
