My exposure to metal health began at 8 years old when I was taken by my parents to several psychiatrists across the country in the late 60's. This process lead to a diagnosis that I had dyslexia.... Moving fwd to the 80's my brother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia... Approximately 3 years ago I was giving a diagnosis of PTSD...

After seeing 4 therapist and talking with 2 others I have come to this observation. Therapy is basically about 2 things. Being habilitated in interpersonal relationships about things that generally one would have been taught by parents, priests or others in responsibility at a developmental age. And dealing with mental illness. I am not sure there is a connection between the 2. But it does appear that the 2 do run side by side.

Personally I find the process of therapy to be like invasive surgery, a nessasary thing like dealing with heart disease if you expect to improve the quality of life and the lives of the ones you love...you do it & do not question it, but you do not have to like or enjoy it.

Thoughts on this? Your experiences?
