The above quotes are why you don't feel empowered. You keep acting in such a way that is normal for your brain. Therapy's role is to train you how to retrain your brain. You will only overcome this by actually practicing. Please remember that therapy is not like a pill. You don't go 4 times and feel better. You go 4 times and work your butt off in between sessions practicing what you're being taught. It's hard work and you'll have slip ups but it's all part of the process. Don't give up on therapy. Keep going.
Best wishes
