In reply to does age matter in therapy?, posted by CareBear04 on March 9, 2004, at 19:52:53
I think when you are ready, you are ready. No matter your age. I was a chatter box in my 20's so I don't think your age is why you are quiet.
I think if you are getting ANYTHING positive out of therapy, then stick with it. I too wish I had sought help when I was in my 20's. I might have been able to escape my abusers earlier, I sometimes wonder. My t says we are ready when we are ready. If you are not feeling ready, that is okay. Listen to yourself, your heart.
I think I never had a voice growing up and I always did what was "right" or expected of me to be "good" and so I never really listened to my heart. That is my advice to you...but your health is so important too and if it keeps you safe and from harming yourself then I agree with the above posters in maybe you need to find another t who you feel safer with or who you feels likes you.
It takes a lot of courage to do what you are doing...good for you! Hang in there and take care....
