Welcome to PC!! I have found that coming here has been super helpful for me in several different ways. Like CANDC said, "There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring." Reading what other people are going through, a lot of the times made me feel less alone in what I was going through. And then just being able to connect with people here who understand what being in therapy is all about... is priceless to me!! My husband is great but he has no clue how hard therapy can be and having folks here to share with has been so helpful for me.

One thing I did.... when I first went from weekly to twice a month... for awhile I "kept" my appointments on the off weeks but with just myself, and did something nice for myself, like one time I went to a flower shop and just wandered through smelling the flowers and absorbing the beautiful colors, and then bought myself a small bouquet to take home.

I hope you soon feel at home here on PC, there's a wealth of compassion and other good stuff here! Again, welcome!
