Happy birthday, Stars! I'm glad that it has been a better day.

As for how long it takes, that depends. It does take a while. One thing that is very important is realizing that it's your life and becoming empowered to do the things that matter to you. Therapy helps, but you still wind up doing the work yourself - it's just that with a guide you are more likely to know what to work on and how. I'm doing so much better, and have been for more than a year (most of the time), but I still would like to be invisible sometimes. It's hard to be patient with the baby steps, but maybe it's the fact that you are headed in the right direction that matters most.
