  • Awesome - I suspect that’s going to be a huge part of the ‘way through’ (in a long term sense). The quick fixes just aren’t there, in my experience.

    After years and about 5 different therapists, I still don’t really know how to judge how well it’s working (the client therapist relationship), but it takes time for each of you to click together, as well as time for them to be more insightful about how you respond and what approach or tools will benefit you specifically.

    Its good when it’s working - hang in there!

    I had years of SSRIs and SNRIs and eventually decided the side effects weren’t worth the benefits for me. But life had improved by then too, so I wasn’t completely white-knuckling it. Hard to say how much was circumstances changing vs my responses and thinking patterns.

    The reality is we’re messy and it’s ALL intertwined…
