I think it depends on what you're in therapy for. I know that therapy is working for me because I am able to better identify and express my emotions. Especially negative emotions. (That doesn't always feel good, but it generally always feels healthy) I am starting to recognize that I am worthy of self care and that I don't need to over function for the other people in my life.

Could I have done that without therapy? Maybe, it's possible. It's a lot easier with therapy I think because I have a lot of deconditioning that needs to be done.
