For the Negatives list:
1) The pain of revisiting past trauma
2) The impact that has on the rest of our lives, e.g work, school, family, etc.
For instance, after a particularly difficult appointment, how do we go back to the office, or classroom? Can we take time off to get through a rough series of appoinments? Do we turn all our vacation time into "mental health" days?
Without therapy, of course, there is still an impact to our lives, it's just not as acute....not as concentrated, or something like that.
For me therapy is not just an hour long. It's that hour, PLUS the rest of the day. I can't schedule anything afterwards since I'm just mental moosh.
