Well, in 3 months it will BE 6 months and I'm NOWHERE near ready to being close to the vicinity of "done". Not by a long shot. Man, I'm really dumb. LOL. I am seeing now that it takes a LONG time sometimes to really get to a point to where you can open up completely and fully in order to heal. I really hope I can, one day, get to a place like where you're at, even if it takes several years.
I hope you can too, beautiful.mess. I still don't open up all the time, but I'm very comfortable with my therapist, and that helps a lot. Heck, it took me 5 years to get to this point, so I am pretty slow. I think therapists have to be really patient to do their job. They have to just be willing to learn a little at a time, in snippets, over many months or years. The person who likes to skip to the end of the book they're reading to see how it all turns out would not make a good T.
