Psychotherapy is helping me make sense of the things that have happened in my life, and particularly it is a way to process trauma. I have learned about my patterns, which makes me less likely to repeat the same mistakes (although i still do sometimes). It's a neutral person who is on my side, who I can talk to about whatever is going on for me. There have been times where I would just go see me T and cry the whole time, and other times where we plan out practical strategies and goals. He challenges me to look at the reasons and meaning behind the things I do, and he helps me examine and understand my relationships. My therapist is very unconventional in his approach, so it would not work for everyone, but it's a good fit for me and I find it beneficial. There are lots of different kinds of therapies and approaches. Can you get a referral to someone good?
