[quote=Sannah;1667820]Yes, these are the 2 areas that need to be considered when making this decision. You can always do a trial and see what happens?

Yes, I suppose I could, maybe should do a trial......

From everything that I have learned, for any disease you need the genetics for it and you need the environment. If either one is missing the chance for the disease is very low if at all.

I have seen many people, including myself, heal after they worked through the issues. I know that my environment caused my problems. Once I corrected the problems mental health became mine. I have seen it over and over again.

Definitely, I think there has been both the environment and the genetics in my case......I guess there really isn't much sense in struggling to see where one ends, the other begins, or to try to separate it out in my mind. I think it's pretty clear to me I have the tendency anyway......though, because of the time in therapy up to this point, I see much more clearly how deeply patterns learned from childhood are etched into my mind/heart. It's daunting to see how much healing is needed......and daunting to think how much might just remain, as an intrinsic part of me/my mind, even when I have dealt with childhood, and other, wounds.

Thanks for the answers and the encouragement.....I think when I have my session Friday, I will tell my T I am willing to try something that will help bring some emotional balance to me, so that we can get on with dealing with the wounds that need healing....so that I am stable enough to handle that emotionally....
