[quote=Anonymous]I was veeeery slow to commit to therapy, and I am still frequently uncomfortable at just how much work I'm discovering I could stand to do on myself. That said, therapy has helped me profoundly, including: - understanding why I react (or over or under react) to events, frustrations, situations... - profoundly increasing my ability to be patient with my spouse and kids - learning how to forgive myself for being human (I have a massive perfectionist complex as a result of a dysfunctional childhood) - improving my ability to set boundaries around what I promise to others, or get dragged into I am definitely a better version of myself for having spent time trying to figure things out. And I am much calmer more of the time and more able to feel in control of my emotions. I got lucky with a great therapist who is a good fit for me. I thank the gods for making that happen. A huge amount depends on the people involved (on all fronts). [/quote]
