My family and longtime close friends know I am in therapy and are supportive. It's just a part of my life, and because they know much (though not all) of what I've been facing, they are glad that I'm getting some professional guidance to process it all.

They are a good "real life" sounding board too because they see me in the world and not just falling apart for an hour every couple weeks. I sometimes run some therapy thing by them, "My t told me..." or "I'm not sure about..." Often they laugh and agree that yes, she's hit the nail on the head. Sometimes they say "Hmm. That's interesting, what about...?" I am blessed beyond measure in my friends.
