I don't think therapy has impacted how I feel about myself. I think it sometimes brings things back to your conscious thoughts that might make you feel uncomfortable. Over time though, I would hope that those "things" are resolved.

I have my next session on Friday. I kind of wish I could see her today. I'm very down right now and I always leave my sessions feeling better than I felt going in.
