This statement proves you are not "failing". I don't believe one can "fail" therapy.

I receive no "mystical help" from therapy. I believe our perceptions are our reality and for some people, me included, it takes a long process for us to figure out that we are not broken, we are worthy, of love, belonging, and healing. Once we figure this out (each in our own way), it is easier to do the work. Therapy is a long, arduous process. I wish you luck!!
