Yes, I do think therapy can bring about lasting change. I think it can enrich lives and help people be healthier.

I don't think it happens very quickly though, and I don't think it's easy.

In fact, therapy, for me, is the hardest thing I have ever done, but I am happier, more centered and just "better" than I ever thought I could be.

For me, there was a phase where I mulled over my problems a lot, grieved my life, and kinda wallowed around in my own misery. It's easy to get trapped in that phase, I think.

But it's also kinda easy to get out of it. I know I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired. My therapist really helped me to move ahead.
