Thank you for writing this amongst the vast number of negative responses here.
Your steps listed are pretty on par with my experience with therapy too.
every time i see that someone says that "therapy isn't for everyone" my reaction is "you haven't found the right therapist yet". My current therapist is the fifth in my life, and i made progress with every single one of them, but some just didn't work out with my specific issues.
My current therapist said that i do everything that i am asked to do for therapy, but if it becomes too tough, i am very skilled at changing the direction we're going, and it took him a while to realize that; but he's the first that DID realize what's happening.
