I think some types feel they do benefit more because of the ability to talk things out when working with a therapist. I think NFs tend to see themselves as benefitting more from it.
I would think there is a weak corralation to NF's receiving the most benefit from therapy, and ST's receiving the lowest benefit. Nevertheless, anyone can benefit therapy if they have the mindset for it to work for them.
I think NF's are more inclined to seek therapy, but the flip-side is, most NF's are pretty self-aware to begin with; with a poor therapist, they will quickly realize that they're paying someone to tell them what they already know.
Not to step on any toes here, of course.
On that note I think therapy would benefit every type if you gave them the kind of therapy that worked best for them.
Weather thats talking, working, rehabilitation, planning, drug therapy, and more. I think that each type would really do well if you worked in way that respected their needs. But also supported how they cope with issues.
Blind Bandit, what is rehabilitation?
I was thinking along the lines of what TDHT said. The couples counselor we saw seemed good the first time though. (we is me and bf, not TDHT ;P)
It's helpful to me to hear what you said Ria. I thought that too, with my bf, but I wasn't expecting anything to happen with one visit, so I'll keep seeing how it goes. My bf is 10 years older than me and I wonder if his age might help him in developing his other "functions", or whatever you call it- his NF I mean I guess.
