Just to process trauma, connect with someone and get me out the house! My expectations used to be too high though which to be fair is understandable because behing heard, I mean it's like an oasis in a desert for lots of people. :/

I'm trying not to expect too much more of it than I would of any other hr/weekly service, like piano lessons or a haircut. It is painful but the business model of therapy is the same as any other service. I have refused to leave myself in the care of therapy. I have to be doing work and thinking about myself and my needs and goals all week. Wish I could have more frequent sessions though lol. And yeah, most of my breakthroughs have been my own doing. Therapy just gives me some structure and a place to talk about it.
