Therapy fascinates me. About a week ago, I felt like cursing it. But honestly, its working.

I don't really know "how" its working - but its working.

Just since the weekend, a lot of positive change has taken place.

Today was incredibly busy, but I handled it much better and I just have a sense of almost peace inside - and that just wasn't there before.

I had a session today - it wasn't supposed to be until Thursday but we moved it up because of another commitment then.

I was stressed and a little angry about my work when I sat down with my therapist, and told him so.

I am not sure what happened to those feelings - we talked about them a little, but we then got to talking about personal boundaries and space, and how not to let people walk on me, but doing so in a skillful manner, and a lot of things.

We also had a discussion about career choice. More on that later, but I have a basic Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I used to want to be a therapist. Well, I have discussed this again a couple of times - today's discussion was more serious.

Anyway, I feel like I am "growing up inside", I guess. Maturing inside. It isn't over - therapy is not finished by any means yet - but I was told today "you are well on the road".

I feel something a bit similar too, this awful horrible thing that I am putting myself through seems to be in some way bringing about some change.

That's great. I'm glad it's going well for you. Keep it up.

Therapy does work - and that's a scary thing! Sez the homeless single mom living in a DV shelter No way in hell could I have done this a year ago...

Thanks for posting this. I really enjoy hearing "success stories" about therapy... because from where I'm at (very much at the beginning) it looks kind of impossible! Hearing from people further along is very motivating and helps me to not abandon therapy (and take refuge under a stack of pillows forever!)

I'm pleased for you! I think it works too, as long as you keep trying and challenging yourself. I'm not sure if it's the meds or therapy, but geez I'm doing better as well.

That thank was a hug, you know?

You're awesome and made a hard decision and you are so worth it lady!

Yep, it works, dammit all. Some time back I could keep my head in the sand and blame all my crap on other people. Now I know I'm the one with problems and that I need to fix them. Baby steps are getting me there!

Thanks StressedMess
It is hard but I think I'm starting to feel in control of my own life for the first time ever. I can actually do this
