The nice thing about therapy is there are few different ways you can utilize it. The tricky part is the individual practitioners vary quite a bit and you really need to mesh with them easily (for me at least, that’s what I needed). Something about straight advice and tools rubbed me the wrong way personally. I wasn’t there for this stranger to try and solve problems. I was really only in it to verbalized thoughts, and have a soundboard to help me grasp reality. I guess that’s how I can put it is, I didn’t think I understood the realty around me. I got lucky and only had one that didn’t work for me before finding one that did.
Hearing how relatable a lot of my thoughts and feelings were really helped. It helped me feel strong within myself to continue doing what I was doing, and making the changes I was making, despite how I was losing people who had been close to me along the way. Turned out to be what I needed, but I was too scared that everything was my fault and that my thoughts and feelings were dumb and I should ignore them.
