........... Several years ago I was in therapy. I am not sure what the purpose of the therapy was tho. Five years or so of therapy and I was told if I had a panic attack when driving that I should pull over and run around the car. lol.. I can laugh now, but believe me, I was not laughing then..

I was thinking that maybe sometimes when we have problems and we try therapy that somehow we get "hooked" into mental health issues. Once bitten we are drawn believing the rest of our lives we have "issues'. Like being in therapy has branded one for life. So and so does this or that which is out of character and the next thing they say ooo you have problems and need therapy..

I know we can consciously decide to move forward and learn from our mistakes. Maybe when one doesn't move forward it doesn't have to always be "mental health issues".. Maybe one just threw in the towel and lives a quiet life. Maybe not a productive one. Maybe they are just "plumb lazy".

Then I think.. what is good therapy? Does the T ever make suggestions or is his job just to sit there and listen and watch one spin in the mud. Is he there just to listen? I mean if he is just there to listen with no feedback or suggestions, one might as well talk to a tree and put the money in a "talking to tree fund".

I don't think I need therapy. I guess I am trying to find closure on "mental health" problems and past therapy. Some times we have to give ourselves a kick in the butt which forces one to go forward and not look back.....................
