Great post Daisym.
And my thougts are like this:
I think that everyone seeks therapy for different reasons and if I go to my T for 11 years, then that's my choice. It's my money, my time, my heart and soul. So why would someone pass judgment on other people just because they did what worked for them?
If I want to pay my T to see her, to feel close to her, to trust her like no one else, then good. I've needed to know that there is someone I can do that with in order to find that I can do that in real life.
My marriage has got to have been the worst of the worst in many ways. She helped me be brave enough to leave and it took me this long to do it. Not her fault, I had to grow strong enough to leave.
I've had to overcome and deal with so many hurtful things the past 10 years. Can I deal with things better now that I did 10 years ago? YES!!!! And I owe my T for helping me do that. For that, my time and money have been worth it to me.
We worked together, the relationship was and is strong. I'm glad I've stayed as long as I have, otherwise I'd still be dealing with the old me that couldn't handle a thing. I had no coping skills! Now I have many.
And I so agree that psychotherapy changes the brain chemistry like you explained.LadyBug
