[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Works differently for different people.  Yes, the work is hard.  Before you were numb and can’t imagine you will go to happy or content before going through uncomfortable to painful issues.  With the right therapist it will likely help you get perspective on your experiences- understand shame is sometimes an initial feeling that you need to/ want to get beyond.  You also want to make sure you are not walking out of the appointment feeling raw - you will want to have enough time to deal with an issue and get some perspective and feel okay to move on with your next part of the day.  But when you start to dig into issues you may find the day to day life has too much going on to handle doing that and the deep work of therapy, so you may need to take a break from appointments and have a less intense work life, family obligations, school , etc to have the energy to be vulnerable for therapy.  Hope this helps.[/quote]
