What Have You Learned From Therapy?

[rainy_daze]

• Not to be afraid of dissociation.
• To be aware of what support people in my life offer (example: sometimes practical and not emotional support).
• The times in my life where I've been stuck.
• To trust someone when they promise you something (obviously after time).

The notes I took during the last session weren't brilliant. It's like trying to decipher a code I wrote to myself. There was too much to try and get through in one session.

I'm also interested in how you coped with the ending of therapy, when it feels painful?

No one has really mentioned this. I'm still too raw, possibly, from therapy ending to transition into coping. That sounds like being stuck. I've felt scared and overwhelmed by memories, and a big part of me wants to share them with my partner. At the same time, I don't want to. I think he's stressed with his own stuff. I don't want to drag him down.

This is why the ending is painful. I could always say I would discuss it in therapy, and now I don't have that option. Discussing it with myself seems strange :eek::confused:. Maybe I have the answers and I don't want to hear them. Maybe I'll adjust and stop thinking about it so much.

How did you cope with the ending of therapy? Is this a things will get better with time scenario?
