And a great two cents it was! Thanks, IsoM.
You know, I just started seeing a new therapist a couple months ago. I have seen several throughout the past 15 years or so, and gave up on them entirely for awhile. Therapists are kind of like meds -- some are great, some make you feel worse, some help at first but it doesn't last, and ... just maybe ... there's that one who can really make a lasting difference.
I think I may have found that therapist. It's wild ... sometimes I'll leave her office and feel so much better it's like I had a hefty dose of Prozac with no side effects. That feeling will last a few days -- energy, motivation, etc. -- and then I'll kind of spiral down until I see her again.
Hopefully I can get to the point where I can sustain that mentally healthy feeling on my own.
She has a lot of very similar beliefs as you -- about the body being a whole, and every system affecting every other system. She stresses the importance of healthiness and wholeness in all areas of life, including spiritual.
Rambling again. But thanks again for your always insightful two cents!
