Re: stability after therapy

[Guest guest]

When I've felt worse after therapy, it usually meant it was time to take a hard

look at what was happening in therapy. Sometimes that worse feeling is positive

if feelings are coming for release and healing. If you just feel like you are

digging up old pain but getting no benefit though, you may need to talk to your

therapist about changing strategy, leave therapy, or get a different therapist.

Sometimes quitting therapy for a while can be helpful even if it is just a break

- I usually turn the healing focus on to other types of healing work for myself

during that time.

would feel so much better when I left. Like I had just had a pep rally in my own

honor, but now I don't feel so happy with it. I almost feel like it's hurting

more than helping because it's keeping the past right in the present for me.

school online, my marriage is better now than it has been in a long

time....money is okay, jobs are stable...my OCD is pretty over the top but other

than that, I'm dealing.

scared. I know my therapist would be there if I ever wanted to come back, but I

don't know if I can let go of the support either.
