I've been in and out of therapy since I was a teen. I've had all kinds of experiences and things said over the years - one of my favorites was "what people think of me is none of my business" I still struggle with this. i think it's rooted into my core and not something I'll ever completely be on solid ground for.
this last go with a therapist didn't go well. initially, it was great, we meshed well, I could talk to him about some things but hadn't really had the chance to open up to him, before it came crashing down and came to an end.
for Christmas to myself, I scheduled an appointment to start therapy over again with a new person. someone new to get comfortable enough to explain the deepest rotten roots. someone new to trust.
my medication practitioner suggested therapy, EMDR, TMS or ketamine therapy. I decided maybe it was time to start somewhere.
