No therapist can fix you in one session. That’s absurd. It takes time. But it was my therapist who suggested I don’t need it as often anymore, not the other way around.
The past is gone the future isn’t here yet. You cannot live in either of those places. You can only live in the present. All depression comes from the past, all anxiety is in the future. If a person is unwilling to take their mind out of the past and live in the moment, that is a choice. Without question some people embrace. The bad things that have happened to them and use them for sympathy. This is obviously true because there are people who have had horrible things happened to them and instead of wallowing, they move on. This is proof that you simply choose where you are going to focus your energy.
