Therapy made things much worse for me. I kept hearing people say it would get worse before it got better, but it never got better for me even after seven years of therapy. I am not saying that isn't true for others, but it was very harmful for me. I did have a good psychologist for seven months, but he left and I really don't know how things would have turned out with him. I probably would have repulsed and disgusted him like I did my other therapist and he would have given up on me too.

I actually did a lot better in the real world after the seven year therapy ended. I wasn't so selfishly focused on my problems and my woes and my issues and the weird relationship i had with him. I think a lot of people get caught up in having someone pity them and they want or need the "warm fuzzies" of therapy and they lose sight of the here and now. I don't know. It just seems like a lot of people end up way too attached and enmeshed and hurt. I don't see many therapy success stories here or anywhere.
