It took me 18 years to finally have a therapist to understand me. I have been with therapist give up on me because I can't get past my childhood abuse, some major loses in my life, ect. The therapist I see now is caring and is helping me put my life back together, it's been slow but i know she is wanting to help me and not give up on me. I have PTSD and that was very ingored by everyone til last year. Thank you so much for starting this thread. Hugs
