For me, I didn't have enough solid support in my life, or anyone qualified enough to help me given the extent of the damage by ex-t. It was my only choice. I was in trauma. I was total dire straits. Crazy. Without seeking professional help, I would have completely self-destructed. That said, had I wound up with a therapist that was invalidating or not understanding of my situation, there was one other therapist I would have tried. Beyond that, I am certain I would have been done with therapy for good. Perhaps more than that, too.
I really lucked out. So far more therapy has been the best solution to my problem. I'm out of trauma and I'm strong enough to take action against my ex-t. Fingers crossed.
