therapy works, but the reason so many people hit a wall is because you can only do so much about yourself. you can analyze yourself, figure out why you do what you do and figure out ways to stop yourself from doing harmful things-- but you can only do so much about yourself. a lot of peoples problems aren't even because of themselves. its bc of people around them. personally, i was shunted off to therapy ever since i was like 12 bc people basically didnt want to deal with me and i was the only family member that never deigned to hide how I felt. but i'm not the problem, no matter how much the abusers in my life might try to insist otherwise- I cant fix everything on my own because not everything is my responsibility to fix. other people in my life, my family members have to be willing to fix their shit too for shit in my life to truly improve. you can easily reach the peak of figuring yourself out, how you work, and working with yourself to achieve what you want, etc. but it quickly turns into a plateau because sometimes other people are obstacles and dont want to move/dont know they have to move, and if they're not willing to work with you theres not much that can be done there.
