When I started therapy 19 years ago it was to deal with my anxiety. That led to me opening up about my childhood and I was sent to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with PTSD in 2004. I spent my majority of my time with therapist who did not deal with deeper issues and really did more harm then good for me. 19 months ago I finally found a therapist who understands me and I feel like i will be in therapy for a long time yet.


I used to feel like therapy was a addiction, now I know for me it's helping. I think if therapy is helping then you should not worry about it becoming a addiction.
