Hi, I just wanted to ask if anyone has been in therapy then stopped it and went back? How did it go? How did you get the courage to go back? or did you want to? I have been in and out of therapy since 1995, and it has helped. In March 2002, I stopped therapy because I moved out of state and was really doing well. I was suceeding at school, and adapting well to my new environment. After being out of my mom's house since I was 18, at 32, here I am back home again. My finances will not allow me to rent anything where I live. I have had a rough time of this, but I find when I go out with freinds, to a movie, or just out-I am a totally different person. I feel trapped at my mom's whim. It's kinda sad because she doesn't have anyone in her life outside of work, besides her kids (2) me and my sibling. For some reason, I have a lot of fear when I begin to feel like me again-outside my mom's jurisdiction. After all,I am 32. I know she cares, but she can be extremely overbearing, and very controlling. So, I was thinking about entering therapy (one on one) to help. Would anyone suggest male or female or does it matter in this situation???
Any experience/ realted people out there with some advice, I'd appreciate it.Thanks,
Kristen
