Good for you! I can see it was a big step for you and you should be proud of yourself.
I went to therapy after my first divorce and it was very helpful but I got along with my therapist. Be honest with yourself and you therapist. Do the work when you have to. The more open you are, the better it helps.
Good luck! You have taken the first steps and are going to be well on your way to better emotional places :)

This is huge! You should be very proud of yourself. I have been through therapy a few times for various issues and I've always learned a lot about myself, and in turn, about the world. I don't think you'll regret it at all. When times are tough, please remember this day - you were so brave to take another step. Cheers!

That's great that you're going to therapy. It helped me a lot and I learned that I was saying negative things to myself and I had to change to saying positive things to myself--then saying positive things becomes a habit and can impact your mood.

I learned that I can only control me and although throughout my work history I was always given the impossible project because I was the employee that could pull the rabbit out of the hat--but in this marriage, that was impossible and I should have given up long before. I realized there were so many signs of isolation in the marriage and I ignored them. Therapy was really eye opening.

I also found out in therapy that my ex had a real hatred of his mother even though he insisted we be at her home every other weekend and do work for her. That translated over into other women. I personally believed he had a fear of being alone because he had been left alone at home so much as a very young child--thus he was constantly and immediately remarrying after every divorce he had because he couldn't be alone and a marriage was a way of "holding onto" someone.

You should feel proud of yourself.. just another step forward.

I hope it gives you all you are looking to get from it.

Yay for you! Getting into therapy was the best thing I could have done and bless my coworker for referring me to her therapist. We really click and I have received much needed validation and support and I finally know that I'm not crazy! I've been going since May and I feel that I've only scratched the surface. Keep us posted!

I am proud of you - what a wonderful HUGE step in the right direction - bravo.

Yes - it initially helped me. I too am going to be seeking out a therapist who specializes in depression/PTSD again - I had two really great therapists who helped me through my PTSD before and I am going to seek them out first to see if they are part of a group now so I can get some help and start going in the right direction again.

Really proud of you - you are an inspiration. Do something to treat yourself.

thats exactly what im doing jackie
& well done
ive been seeing a counceller what i like about her is that she talks too so its like a conversation, the therapy ive had in the past i didnt like cos they would just sit there & take notes while i did all the talking, there was no feed back
unfortunately the counciller i c at the moment i cant afford to c them
so im going for an assessment with an nhs councilling & i hope they will be like the counciller ive been seeing
so good luck with it, i hope it works for u
im in the UK too xx

Have never been to a therapy session where I didn't learn something. Arms you with some great tools for life.

Congratulations Jackie :)
Therapy is a great tool for putting you on a path toward self-discovery. Hoping you find great things there!

I've been going for almost 3 years, and it has helped me so much. Good for you!
