Naive as I was?
When I started therapy 10 months ago I swear I thought I was going to be "fixed"/"cured"/"normal" in 3 months. Haahaaaa haaa OMG! I realized 3 months was about 12 hrs. Wow was I blind,dumb, uninformed. |

Yes..I was even so naive to think I was going to cure myself. It's very hard to predict how long one is going to need therapy..especially when it's the first time confronted with an illness.

I knew nothing about therapy before I started really!
Then of course, came the obsessive stage where I read about every little thing about therapy. Bah. |

I was wildly overoptimistic.

I thought the woman would be able to explain what was supposed to go on at therapy and then I could go do it. She has proven incapable of that and therefore I use her for other information now.

I thought I was going to be done in 6-8 weeks. Now, I'm nearing 2 years and hopeful that I'm close to done.
I read case studies sometimes where they claim a client totally transformed in the course of 2-3 months, and it makes me feel like a total underachiever... |

I think it can depend on what one goes to therapy for; there are lots of short-term programs out there that do good work and help people. But we vague types that just kind of wander in, don't quite know why or what we're doing. . .
