Therapy isn't going to stop struggles in life - just help you learn to deal with them.

Yes, they do. Dr. T has helped quite a bit with my marriage (I'm communicating better) and stuff with my D. And randomly, something R said about Dr. T helped me be more understanding of my H when he was stressed. And other stuff.
I've had a lot of life stressors in the past year, which isn't helping matters. And I still don't think I've fully recovered from pandemic stuff--which was a time Dr. T really helped and supported me. Like my social life is not what it was then (though part of that is on H, as he never seems to want to do anything with other people).
