One of the things therapy did for me was to make me self aware. That's how it worked for me. It's not that the same things don't happen, it's more that I can say "Ok, this is happening, and this is what has worked for me in the past, so I'll do it again, and even if I don't feel better right away this too shall eventually pass." Or I might fall into the same paths of reacting to external events or people, but this time I stop somewhere along the line, see that I am falling into old patterns, and am able to laugh at myself and decide whether or not I want to react that way this time.
In those ways I think I'm as fixed as I ever will be.
Or maybe I'm just in a good mood.
