In reply to Afraid to start therapy - will it be worth it?, posted by JenStar on September 7, 2005, at 23:06:25
I was pushed into it by increasingly difficult to bear panic attacks.
One thing I remember about being afraid of starting medication was that it was last card. That if it didn't help, nothing ever would. And I was afraid to play that card.
It didn't work like that of course. Medication helped some, didn't help some, but continued therapy ended up helping a lot.
It might be worth it, or it might not. At the very least you should learn some healthy ways to cope, if your therapist is from the most common therapy tradition, CBT.
