I too benefited from therapy. I was fortunate in happening across good people at the right time. I never knew the psychobabble until I joined these forums. At first I thought I must have done it wrong because I never got close to them, enmeshed or insisted on contact outside of my weekly session, never experienced a rupture. I was in a terrible place and had ptsd. I was hospitalized countless times and had a lot of trauma to process They helped me though that with various forms of therapy including some odd ones. I stopped therapy about 7-8 years ago as all I deal with now is bipolar, which is a medication need. It was helpful and hard work but it was never my focal point. I lived because of therapy not for therapy.
