Partless – I feel you.
I’ve given up the idea that the therapeutic process is all of a sudden going to give me a bright and sunny outlook on life, or that I’m going to feel better about the past. Actually, in the year I’ve been in therapy, it’s been a tumultuous rollercoaster, and I feel worse in some ways. What therapy DOES give me is a place to go to that’s supportive and caring, when these horrible things do happen again. I’m not sure if that’s the idea of therapy… I’ve hear others here musing about internalizing your therapist so you don’t need to go anymore, but I honestly don’t know. I plan to keep going until someone tells me to stop.
