[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 742810, member: 15032"] Hi I also am a big fan of therapy. To me it's a luxury. I believe that those that have enough insight into themselves to seek out a therapist when in need have a good chance at overcoming the trials in life that brought them there in the first place. I needed therapy due to my son's addiction and issues relating to that that were effecting me in a horrible way. I found someone that specialized in addiction so she was able to give me an unbiased advice on what was really going on with him and with me as a result of that. She taught me that boundaries were okay. That he needed them too. That it didn't mean I didn't love my son. To the contrary. It was BECAUSE I loved him. Setting boundaries is hard work. To me a good therapist helps you find the tools within YOURSELF to deal with what is troubling you. It's a professional that will give you empathy and support and show you how to find your own self-compassion. I needed to learn how to detach for my own emotional survival. It was hard work but one day I was there. I saw my thinking start to shift slowly. It happened so slowly that I did n't even realize it. [/QUOTE]
