Kat, if you read all of this post I think you will see a lot of things that might appeal. So go with me here a moment, OK.

Therapy (I am not arguing with you) is a two-edged sword. MOST therapists are so wedded to their particular discipline that it can be hard to make use of it without treading hard on one's own core beliefs and valuable learned experience.

A discipline that I think offers great promise for high-functioning, highly-evolved people is CBT. CBT combines well-- really well-- with a peer counseling discipline I know well and trust through experience both from the counselor role and the client role.

CBT is particularly effective with anxiety loops. If one uses the CBT tools to reach the threshold of feelings which can then be dissolved (healed) via co-counseling tools (see www.rc.org), then one can harness the spiritual side of redeeming difficult areas (from whatever is one's particular spiritual discipline. (RC lacks the spirit side.)

In other words, these are three highly practical tools that can be used synergistically in a self-directed way (highlightng intentionality), and combined so that a multiplicity of goals are reachable in a surprisingly fast way and also in a seriously FUN way.

With all three tools, which can be used simultaneously and/or serially as desired, the focus can be kept on the positive.


So--

You might want to look into CBT (google it) and RC and see if they might be a good fit. Of course you already have the third tool in the set I'm describing. You're close on the RC-- but the postulates it's based upon are at the site I referenced above and there's a lot of personal power wrapped in there that you may not fully know about as yet.

If you have any questions I prefer phone or PM.
