Five years of therapy changed my life for the better in every way.
A couple of things:
- It is NOT a short-term prospect. Real change takes real time and commitment
- Take the time to find the right therapist. You both have to agree on the expectations and how things will work. Be honest and true to yor feelings.
If you're ready to make the commitment, then therapy is incredibly valuable. Having a trusted, neutral perspective who can focus on you is a lot different than a group thing (which also has value, of course). But those things aren't interchangeable.
