I had therapy and was offered it for years but it never worked and I've always been left with the questions ''Was I ready for therapy?'' and ''Was it the wrong therapy?'' and is that why it never worked?

Also, is one or both of those reasons why mine didn't ''work'' until I had Gestalt therapy with a female therapist who never wrote notes on her clients (even though they -her bossess-wanted her to) and she was trustworthy. I had CBT, DBT, Person Centred, Systemic etc etc. But she was my first Gestalt experience. So was i ready for her, was her type of therapy right for me, and was she the right person for me?

I think I wasn't ready for therapy and I think that it was her, my therapist, that I built such a good relationship with, that made it work too. 7 years but I owe this lady so much.
