I feel that I need to share my story.
I have seen over 10 t. Been in therapy for 15 years. I have never been this close to getting into my traumas.
And I am the one putting the work in. My t helps to pull me back to reality. And provides guidance.
I know for some people, they go into it with the t will fix me, I don't have to do anything. Well, I have words for you. I guess you won't change. If one feels stuck, and I did lots of times, then one needs a change in perspective. Start putting effort into the relationship with your t.
I have been reflecting on what to do, and then found a program that I'm very excited for. It's called Lifebook. I had to put $500 as accountability that I would do it, and at the end I can get that money back! I will take 6weeks and make a lifebook, with what I want my life to look like. And then I'll go for it, looking at the lifebook and creating daily goals.
Yes this is work, but life is work! If one sits ideally by, the world moves faster than the person.
Work for your dreams. Depression for me does NOT define me. I define me!
We are NOT our disorders. We are PEOPLE, looking for a better way, or staying the same, letting the past influence our present life. Is that what you want?
