Absolutely.
I was thinking about this the other day. The fact is, no ONE person can be everything to you. Not your therapist, not your closest friend or partner. Every human being is fallible. That is why we need a community, even if it's only two or three people, and why we need to trust and learn to support ourselves.

I believe that support is a necessary component of life in general, for anyone. I've always considered better emotional connections and real-world support one of my goals of therapy.

One thing therapy is helping me with is to appreciate supports that I do have as well as make, reestablish, and solidify new connections in my everyday life. I am learning to lean on friends when I need to talk. I am learning to communicate better with my friends and family and even 'teach' them how I need support.

I am also learning how I can support myself.
