That’s interesting about new therapies having a heyday through empowering and something I hadn’t thought of.

I’m not sure how much therapy helped me although it didn’t harm me, it took me so long to access it (waiting lists) I was past the worst part of things. In my case I did seem to come through a crisis alone/with self care, but I felt like therapy was useful in that I really needed someone to listen without prejudice if that makes sense (I love my family but some of them dump emotionally their stuff on me I guess that’s common). I was lucky I feel, she was a very light touch therapist. I wouldn’t say therapy is essential to recovery though.

Do you find writing your thoughts out here to be helpful? I find it interesting and enlightening to read them.
