Title: Thinking of therapy Post by: Sharkey167 on June 03, 2013, 11:21:26 AM I'm approaching the 10 month point and for a while I thought I was doing better but in many ways I just can't get past this. I'm contemplating going to some therapy sessions because my friends just don't get it, 1 does cause he knows her but I have talked to him enough about it.
Am I being premature or is it a good idea? Title: Re: Thinking of therapy Post by: Octoberfest on June 03, 2013, 11:34:28 AM my dBPDex and I have been split for a month now and NC for 4 days and I am looking into it.
So I hope YOU aren't being premature Title: Re: Thinking of therapy Post by: Sharkey167 on June 03, 2013, 03:15:54 PM my dBPDex and I have been split for a month now and NC for 4 days and I am looking into it. So I hope YOU aren't being premature Ha yeah I guess I should have entertained the thought sooner.

I'm gonna try it. Thanks guys. Title: Re: Thinking of therapy Post by: GreenMango on June 03, 2013, 08:52:30 PM It's okay to need help and reach out for it. It's a good thing and will be probably help with the harder parts of healing. |iiii
Let us know how it goes. Title: Re: Thinking of therapy Post by: Bananas on June 03, 2013, 09:04:24 PM I would say go for it. It has helped me a lot. My therapist can be supportive where my friends can't. She really helped me to see that I wasn't the crazy one and the actions of my ex do strongly indicate some sort of cluster B disorder. But more importantly, she has helped me work on me.
My friends mostly have the "he's a jerk, just get over it" attitude, which really doesn't help. This board too, has been a lifesaver.

This board too, has been a lifesaver. Exactly, besides my best friend most of them (including my family) just say "be grateful it's not you, you gotta forget about it." Which is not helpful.

This board too, has been a lifesaver. Ditto. A few of my friends are completely dismissive about it, and I feel embarrassed that someone like him has had such an impact on me... . It's 2.5 months NC for me. Setting up an aptmt with a T... . not to work on him, but on me. the idea feels good :) Title: Re: Thinking of therapy Post by: Sharkey167 on June 05, 2013, 06:13:26 PM Ditto.

I love psychology and I spent so much time analyzing her it will be good to as Clarice Starling said, "turn that high powered perception on myself."

And at least we can benefit from that high powered perception! Really, I think it's time to channel our energy on to things where we can actually see progress (ie: ourselves :) Good luck!

Looking forward to getting myself back on track.

We just established the basics and laid out some goals. I have been writing down questions I have for him as well. |
