Reading some threads as I am fairly new here and this one caught my eye. When I started counselling last fall I was under the impression that once I dealt with things then everything would be ok and I would never have a "bad" day again. Unfortunately that isn't the case as everyone has bad days and things do happen that can throw us off at times.

But through counselling I really know that everything changes - feelings, beliefs. If I am having a crappy day my body no longer registers it as an assault or automatically throws me into shock. And if something does blindside me, I have a support system in place as well as continued counselling. Things do change and get better, just not over night as I was hoping.

Wanted to throw my two cents into this thread
