I have been in therapy for a year and 7 months.

I went into therapy when life got very hard and there was a family crisis that sort of blew open the lid on my childhood issues, that I had so carefully compartmentalized and packed away. I am diagnosed with both major depression and dysthymia.

My symptoms originated in my childhood. There was a lot of abuse--and overwhelming neglect.

My therapy has been quite successful so far but I am nowhere near finished. I have been working it very hard with T and also seeing Pdoc. I think I am ready to add another component--maybe yoga or something meditative in nature.

Peace
