I have been helped and hurt by therapy.

A therapist who helped me out of a deep depression helped me enormously through active imagination work, dream work....and relentlessly checking in with me when I "forgot" to show up.

another therapist helped yank me out of a neglectful relationship and helped me move across the country and re-invent myself.

Lots of positives to report then....

Since those T relationships....not so much...

Sometimes I wonder: if therapy works the first time...and the second time...maybe you're tapped out, or have the skills to help yourself?

I would need an increasingly great therapist the older, saner, wiser...I get.

Maybe that's why I feel that I have "worn out" therapy...or perhaps I'm so bad I'm beyond help this time!
