> I would be okay and cope and get control most of the time. But when I saw her, I would lose it completely and just fall apart. I actually cut back our sessions even though I was having a hard time, because I found that the sessions made me worse.
I actually found that to be one of the biggest values of therapy. I am so out of touch with my emotions, so dissociated from them, that I often have no idea what I feel at all until those doors are closed. It can be enlightening. So in some ways it made me worse, but in some ways it was far healthier.
