Hey Jean,
I always thought therapy was the hardest part....it made me look at myself and question me more.....I don't think the therapy itself makes you feel better...I hope that it has always helped me to become stronger and better able to handle what life throws at me... Sometimes the few days after therapy are the hardest too....as the mind tries to wrap around a new thought or hope....or the idea that is stuck at that point... I try to think of it as intense schooling.....and your learn days worth in an hour...takes days to process all that....relax and let the mind work on it... find something to relax you...candles...music... a walk... a swim....a book.....do something with your body while your mind is busy.... Good luck and let me know if you need anything....Will always be available to chat with you ....Keep the faith!!!
