I'm not a therapy fan. I think it would have been great if somebody or some group could have helped me escape much sooner than I did.

But. . .haven't you said that you were doing much worse in terms of self-harm before you started seeing the current T?

So -- a trade off, maybe? I think therapists need some better ways to help people but currently, they don't. And for what it is worth, this forum has helped me a lot once the therapy did end.
