Oh (((catlover1))) that is wonderful that you worked so hard at going to that group and you were so well cared for and supported by that therapist. I understand how hard that was, bet you are exhausted, but that is what you need to do, reach out for help as often it really "is" there. It may turn out that once you "do" get to feel safer with this that you may meet another patient that can relate and also help you feel safe and supported too.

It may be hard to go back again, but not "as" hard because you will remember this therapist who was kind and understanding towards you. That is what you need, individuals that "see" you but are supportive so you can build up your self confidence to continue to seek help and support.

So glad you ended up having a positive experience, even though it was hard and you are probably exhausted. Get some rest and do some self soothing, you did really well.
