I realized last night, that *this* is what I wanted when I started therapy. To just be able to be in my life. To be able to deal with things that come up. To be able to have and accept good feelings and bad feelings. To be able to see that the good and the bad can be all mixed in there together and it's okay. To be able to have an underlying sense of "okayness" even when life is sad or scary.

I don't know if i will stay in this place. But I've had this taste of it, and I know it's what I want, and I know it's possible for me, and that is the most amazing thing. 4 years ago, this week would never have gone this way.

Therapy really. does. work.

I LOVE reading posts like this! Progress and success in therapy. It makes others see that they, too, can overcome their issues and be a much healthier and happier person.

I understand the not knowing how long you will stay in this 'place', but like you said, once you have tasted it, it makes you want it even more. You will try harder to stay in it or get back to it should you fall away temporarily.

Thanks for sharing this. You made my day!
