It is VERY important to protect ourselves from THEIR TOXICITY and HARM. And from their oppression and their abuse.

Does your therapist accept clients/patients who are not in the USA? (no need to answer) I have found (and I know for a FACT that I am not alone in this... that in this forest irl therapy etc is about 30 years behind the USA. It is possible this has changed but I am VERY doubtful )

It's incredible how a few months (or even sometimes a few sessions) of therapy with a GOOD therapist is more helpful than years of therapy with an ''average'' or sub optimal therapist. Everyone deserves a good therapist, and for those of us who have survived multiple abuses (and this includes me) it is essential.
Thanks @Fuzzybear.

I'm astounded by the number of ineffective and bad therapists I've had. I can already tell that my new one will be very effective.

I am sitting here alone with all my fears and thoughts. It's most debilitating. I am scared to leave my husband, but I know I must do this for myself.
