I think it can be done on your own, maybe not for everyone. I attended two 6 week full time group therapy classes. I learned more from the other people in the group than from the therapists. But I learnt the most in those sessions from myself. I have healed alot of issues on my own and without that aide of books. I am not saying that therapy is not good or the way for some.

I still have a t whom I've had for five years but we have an unconventional relationship. I will call her when I am having some bad psychosis or something and she will help get me what I need.

For me I find it unhelpful to trudge threw my past repeatedly or dissect every aspect of my being. They way I have found most useful is forgiveness, acceptance, changing things I can, never stop learning and growing, working on myself. I have been able to do it by myself by listening and paying attention to myself, trusting myself and just plain wanting it. I believe nobody knows me better than I know myself. I know what I need to challenge and work on.

I can see how a t could be useful to some but I really believe it can also work for some to go it alone.
