[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 734375, member: 15032"] Agree with all. I equate seeing a therapist with having someone in to clean your house. Many don't want people in their homes to "see their dirt" or a therapist they think will judge or "see the skeletons" they are living with. I am way past letting someone clean my house because I work full time and I don't want to spend my free time cleaning and letting my therapist see our dirt/skeletons was an experience that helped me heal and move forward and focus more on me and what I needed to work on for me to be okay. I do recommend someone that specializes in addiction which for me has been most helpful. Of course the first several times they just listen more than give advice but in time they are able to direct. I find it amazing that mine can remember everything I tell her without notes in front of her! [/QUOTE]
