Yes, life is much much better and easier and therapy was/has been one of the two best things in my life (the other being my relationship with my husband :-)

When I started therapy at 20, I was totally lost, afraid, and clueless. Now (at 56 :-) I'm none of those things. I've always shared my therapy at my work, especially my last job of 7 years (the last 7 of the 9 years I was last in therapy) and a coworker/friend there confirmed that I had become better, even by outside/"objective" standards :-) My T said when I started therapy I was just a "shell" -- now I'm a genuine Perna, LOL!
