Therapy is a place and a time where you don't have to keep secrets, or yourself hidden unless you want to at first.
It shouldn't be just pouring out your story however, it's a place to just be you, have that accepted and work on making yourself better.
You will begin to look at your past and how it's affecting your current situation. Over time you should begin to recognize when it is your past speaking versus when it is you.
It will help reign in your emotions by allowing you to express them and realizing that you didn't go under, you weren't overwhelmed and no one was hurt by them.
Over time you will regain control and freedom over your life.
It's the hardest work I've ever done and I've done some pretty rough stuff.
