Yes agree. It is alternately liberating and overwhelming to realize that healing does not come from external sources. They can only facilitate. OTOH, you need healthy relationships to be a healthy person. And if you do not have any can be a real bind.

True for me also. But I do think circumstances sometimes can be so brutal that it becomes too much. It's fashionable to say that it's not what life throws at you, rather how you respond. To me it is obviously
both. I was already at my breaking point, and then therapy of all things pushed me over the edge and once in that survival based state it is hard to shift thinking, or make changes, or do much.
