Yes, my therapy has helped me immensely in my day to day life. Not completely and I still have a lot of work to do. But when I look back on what my life was like before therapy and what it is now, it's so different. Both for better and for worse, but with most aspects I am closer to where I want to be in life than I was before I started. I have more self-confidence, more initiative, more contact with the people around me, more courage. I know myself better with my past too and I have a more profound understanding of how I was hurt or what I missed growing up, the difference between what was and what should have been. I haven't experienced therapy as healing one or the other, present or past. For me as a client in therapy it's been some of both.
