How has everyone else been? Please remember that I am here too if anyone needs someone to talk to.

Thank you everyone for making me feel so at home here and not afraid to say how I'm feeling or if I may be having issues. It felt really good to finally let go of some of the things that have happened to me. I've kept a lot of that in side for so long, refusing to let hurt me. I now realize that if I don't deal and cope with it in a healthy way, that it does still hurt me. I will be making a few phone calls tomorrow to possibly find a counselor, therapist or support group in my area. Thank you Byzantine , your a very warm, caring person and you made my day!
Hi,

I was also abused by my father. I have a few suggestions about therapy. If you can afford it, do not go to a clinic. Although it is cheap, you will experience changing therapists often. The T connection I believe is the most important aspect of therapy. It will allow you to heal. Also, when looking for a T, interview several. It is important that you and your new T are on the same page. This is hard work and it isn't easy. Good luck and please ask us anything.
