I expected to go in for 6 sessions, learn some strategies and be fixed. 7 years later, I'm still there.

I didn't realise that the trigger to the events that took me there in the first place, was not 1 trigger, but layers of things over the years, that I thought I had dealt with, but had actually just stuffed away.

Maybe I would have been ok with the 6 sessions and coped with life. But despite the expense, I have found it useful to learn about myself more deeply and I hope I can live a more meaningful life, rather than just getting through life.
