In reply to Is therapy worth it?, posted by wishingstar on April 10, 2006, at 23:07:23
I ask myself this every now and then also. Or at least I used to. Recently I've concluded that it is absolutely worth it. My life is so much better than it used to be. I'll take all the pain in exchange for that. Of course, recently I haven't had to deal as directly with a serious attachment to my T.
Here's something to chew over -- or something I've been chewing over anyway. I used to have a T to whom I was very attached. He left and I still feel a very painful attachment to him, and long to talk to him. After he left, I got a T who I like a lot. We did good therapy, and I like her style a lot. But I never felt attached. So, do you know what I want? I want to feel that painful attachment to her! I can't explain it logically, but that's what my heart wants!
So, I'm concluding that my heart found something helpful in the painful attachment. Not sure what it was, but I've decided that there is some wisdom there that I'm going to try to ferret out.
