Therapy has helped me tremendously, far more than meds (I’m not even on any psych meds anymore, just stuff to manage my sleep and energy levels). After years of therapy I’ve finally reached the point where I don’t need it as often. You can’t claim to know the circumstances of everyone else’s lives and the traumas and abuses different people undergo.
“after years of therapy….” The one piece of advice you will never get from a so-called therapist- stop dwelling on it. They do the opposite. They force you to dwell on issues that cause you anxiety and depression. I can fix you in one session… said no therapist ever.
