it's helped me alot. it took awhile (6-8mos) for me to relax and open up but T is very patient and we connect well...i think that is the key. the connection with the therapist. it has forced me to open up and talk and look at and acknowledge my emotions and feelings and areas that desperately need some help. i trust and respect T and know that he's in my corner. i cant imagine where i would be right now without his help.
