Wow what an intense post mouse. Thank you for sharing so much!!!

I entered therapy because my relationships were falling apart for the same reason over and over. That reason being that I couldn't figure out how to be close to people. I would want to be in a strong connection with them but would always still hold them at arm's length. Again and again I'd be in a relationship and feel like I barely knew the other person -- you know, like they were just some nice person that I happened to sleep with. No real feeling of bonding. I was that way with my friends too, not just lovers.

So that's what I work on in therapy! Thankfully my therapist has had a lot of insight and clues about this stuff, and my life is improving greatly because of it.

Since starting therapy, I've also found that I deal with a lot of other issues that actually had nothing to do with the reason I entered therapy to begin with. Stuff I never talked about but am finding it's helpful to discuss. I love therapy.

Thanks again for posting your story. Really intense!
