I like this post, thanks.

I was in therapy for SEVEN freaking years with a T and she always told me I was "stuck." Turns out it was HER, not me. (But I believed her for 6 years.)

Now I have a new T--for not quite 2 years. She is totally wonderful. And I made more progress in a couple months with her than I did with old T in all those years.

I know therapy is working because...

the inside kids are talking about their abuse memories
1 inside kid who only used to throw fits, cry, and scream actually laughs now and plays sometimes with our T
I am off my medications instead of always being put on more and more!!
We hardly ever SI anymore, and hardly ever give into eating disorder behaviors (both of which used to consume our days.)
we have 99% good days instead of 99% bad days.
