A therapist shouldn't be there to fix you. You go to a therapist because you have a problem and *you* want to fix it. In theory, the therapist should guide you towards resolution of the problem. Sometimes, this involves exposing some false thoughts you may have about yourself and the world, but if you're going to have someone challenge your world view, you should do it in a safe and welcoming environment. For example, I would challenge two beliefs you state in your post. Firstly, that life is all about work-spend-debt (tell that to poorly paid social workers, teachers, artists, etc). I also don't think that a woman without children is a misfit.
