Therapy definitely helped me, once I found most recent ex-T. The first 2 times I tried I got no benefit from the experiences. I was in therapy with most recent ex-T for almost 8 years; I left about 7 months ago.

*Near the end of year 1 I got out of a job that was sucking my soul away and into a much better company, where I've been promoted, changed departments, and am looking at moving to another department again now

*I found true forgiveness in my heart for my Dad for childhood physical abuse (before he passed away, but I was not able to tell him before he died)

*Finally (and this took the bulk of the 8 years!) was able to forgive my Mom for a lot of stuff growing up and we now have a more healthy relationship
*I went back to school after talking about it for 5 years
*I started writing again and self-published a book of my poems which prior to therapy I would never have had the confidence to even think about doing

*I have completed several shamanic trainings that again, prior to therapy, I would have been too shy to attempt (therapy really brought me out of hiding)
*My relationships with my family and my spouse are better

These are the highlights, there are more little ways sprinkled throughout. It's the best and most difficult thing I've ever done for myself.
Thanks for this!
