It drives me crazy because I'm in therapy to stop feeling so bad. Those things help feel better. And now they're part of the condition to be in therapy? NO THANKS!!!

You understand, though, don't you? That those things that make you feel 'better' are self-destructive and in the end will not make you feel better.
From my own experience I know that healing is very painful. We can compare it to a scrape on the knee. When you fell off your bicycle and hit the ground the wounded knee was impacted by all the dirt and gravel. Now, even though it causes more pain TEMPORARILY, the wound must be cleaned before it can heal.
Likewise, we must go through a lot of scary and uneven emotions to get to the bottom of our troubles. We must have the courage to keep going. And there will be lots of ups and downs. But, just a little spark of faith will entice us to continue the work. And it is work, dammit!!
