Hi LT,

I'm glad you had a shift in your conversations with your therapist--pulling for you that it leads you to a more peaceful place within yourself because the world is always going to world.

I've been doing great. The therapist I had when I used to post here was a disaster. I took a break, but was such a mess from the last one that I re-entered the hellscape and found someone who is not too damaging, however, the burn from past toxic therapy has had long term effects. The good news is that the new one mostly keeps her stuff out of my therapy and is more skilled with trauma work, although she irritates the crap out of me with relational attempts. I limit what we work on and it's been just what I needed. I've thought of stopdog often because she is right about her assessment of lazy low-hanging fruit pickers who hang a shingle and can't explain what it is they do. My main goal has been to break free of therapy, and I've finally gotten to where that's happening.
