In reply to Has therapy made you happier?, posted by Tabitha on April 30, 2009, at 1:57:45
In the long term, maybe. It's made me happier, sadder, more joyous, more suicidal, angrier, etc. over the four years.
I guess I'd differentiate happiness--which is an emotion I feel sometimes--from long-term change. I'd say therapy has made me more myself. Which doesn't guarantee happiness, but does give everything I do and say a purity and a strength I didn't have before. Now I know where I'm going, I guess.
