At times helpful at times not. Both family 7 individual I assumed woul show my daughter things she wouldnt hear from me...it seems like nothing matters to her anymore.

ive been in therapy 5 years and most of the time i felt it was useless. but now i think it has helped alot

Depends on the counsellor. Some are great, some have been a total waste of time and money.

didnt address my problemsmedical ones

Just reaqlly beginning to see patterns what sorts of abuse Ive been through how unkind I am to myself and the efffect my Si has caused to myself and others. So thats good but Im not sure about my identity at all times yet.

Currently working. Tried before, didn't work.

My son and I are seeing a LMFT that foucses on sexaully abused individuals I was sexually abused as a child.

It is extremly helpful having a professional to get treatment from and he offers a great deal a confidence in overcoming my depression and substance withdrawals.

still doing it

I am blessed beyond words with my therapist. Need I say more?

EVERYONE should be as blessed as I am to have a therapist as skilled, compassionate, sincere, fully invested in me, maintains appropriate boundaries while making that personal connection I need. She is consistantly asserting the expectation that her hope is that one day I will be free of he need to self-injure. At the same time she allows the sacred space for me to truly explore and talk about the role self-injury plays in my surviving in the world. She listens without judgement.

This has helped me a great deal and I am still in counseling. I think the combination of effexor and counseling is proving to be a good fit for me.
