Hello all,

It's been a while since I saw a thread like this and it's so easy amidst the difficulties of therapy to lose sight of the positive, I'm starting one again.

If you want to share something positive you've done for yourself, something you've gained, something you've made peace with, etc. through therapy, this is the place.



One I noticed the other day was that when my husband Skyped and asked me how I was doing, I told him the truth, even though the truth was that I'd been having an anxiety attack and struggled to get things done because of it.

It dawned on me later that two+ years ago, when I was starting therapy, I never would have let myself be vulnerable enough to do that. I was so scared to talk about any negative feelings or experiences I had, that I always wanted to make everything sound perfect and under control. An insecurity and fear based response. Being able to open up to him in particular, which has been a process, has been really... illuminating and rewarding.
