I think I'm getting to the same place. I just don't know what it's doing for me anymore. I haven't had a panic attack in over a month (Knocks on wood)...while my therapists pushed meds on me, but I refused and decided to do work on myself and I'm the one who had a breakthrough, all on my own.

I just don't know anymore. I'm having no insights or breakthroughs through therapy. I'm a bit confused what I'm getting out of it anymore.

I overcame much of my anxiety and learned far more "about myself" in actually living life. Therapy was a harmful sham to me.
Thanks for this!
