[quote=Anonymous]Nobody - no matter how "good" the therapist is - can make you view something in a different way unless you are ready to view it that way and/or you are just about there yourself and they gently give you the idea to consider it more thoroughly.  There is nobody that can really lift you out of a fog.

I say this with experience of living a hard life and being completely on my own with no family (only child, no extended family like cousins, aunts, uncles).  I have had many close friends however in my life and thus, understand the closeness of a family.  There has never been a therapist who has been able to open me up to anything that I have not personally thought about.  That my childhood was full of emotional and physical abuse, neglect and loneliness should have me totally messed up.  However, I've been able to thrive with a family of my own and a husband who is, even if he can't fully understand my background, a great support of friendship and health.  It's been because of my own ability to figure things out.  Life heals all.  Through the people you come across, though your own growth and learning, through some luck.

Therapy is something that can be useful but it's not a magic cure all.  It can I'm sure comfort you and perhaps guide you but it cannot take all your pain away.

No therapist will be able to get you from point A to point B.  No therapist can help you find peace nor help make you whole.  They are like crutches for when you can't walk.  You can use them to get through a bad time until you are well enough on your own and healed.  [/quote]
