Therapy has helped to educate me on emotional mind and logical mind, emotional regulation, figuring out my fight or flight responses, my paralyzing anxiety and agoraphobia, and more than anything validate all the BS I've been through in my life that I can't control. The validation and the education is the best part of therapy. I hate driving there and parking. That is the worst part. The other thing I don't like is an hour flies by in a flash because I don't stop talking long enough to take a breath and let my therapist get a word in edgewise. About 3 out of 4 of the times we meet per month (ever week) she gets that education and validation in.
Therapy also makes it better in the relationships I have to not have to use friends or aquaintences as therapists. I have a therapist for that. I don't have to lay that on people.
Therapy is such a blessing in my life, and finding this therapist who finally gets me and I agree with her philosophy is also a miracle.
