Dang, my memories are blurring together a lot and I kept thinking "wait, I haven't talked about concepts like relational trauma with the couchies on MSF?"

Must have been with my local group before my life imploded roughly 6 months ago.

I don't think every single person on the planet is traumatised and/or have adverse upbringing experiences, but I think a lot of people with chronic difficulties do because it's your early life "templates" about people and the world around you.

According to my ex T and current T, people who "just" have situational depression or anxiety which resolves within 3 to 12 sessions of CBT...have important protective factors. (And of course, neither of my therapists and myself believe therapy is the only way to heal.)

I had commented feeling like I failed CBT, asked what's wrong with me to need more than 12 sessions etc as time limited therapy is very common.

Eta: sorry for spamming the couch.
