I was always sceptical about talking therapies, but although the first few sessions have mostly been about her getting to know me, my history etc, she has already said a few things that have really surprised me and made me think. I’ve gotten a bit emotional after each session but it’s not a bad thing, it’s just that I’m starting to realise things and make connections already, I’ve put a lot of trauma in a box deep in my mind and never allowed myself to think or feel anything over it, it’s not going to be easy allowing myself to open up and face things, but I’m starting to realise that my mental illness is not just some entity that came from nowhere, and that is a big realisation. I like my therapist, and I think this process could actually help me a lot.

I’m quite sceptical about talking therapies but I’m glad it seems to be helping. I guess it’s good for some people.

My therapist tells me quotes and gives me exercises to do but I don’t feel like I come away with new insight. I wish I did. It sounds like you have a great therapist.
