Hey L ...
Was your therapy 'the old type' or 'the new type'?
Once upon a time it was thought that talking about our problems was the answer. There is a proper term for this type of therapy .. maybe you know it .. I can't think of it.
Now, well in my experience in the last nearly-10yrs, it is all about learning skills to push the problem away or in or somewhere .. anywhere but in your thoughts. For this too there is a proper term.(?)
I only get to see my therapist about every 2 to 2-1/2 weeks and sometimes for only 30min. I know this isn't helping very much. I can only site about one particular helpful session over two years. My therapist is supposed to be trained in DBT.
I followed the post from Admin over here to see what was happening and 'your list' is so good .. think I'll print and keep discreetly.
