Well, you know I've been through a lot of therapies and therapists, I have to say psychotherapy has been amazing for me. I must have started about a month ago, and I'm paying for it privately with my benefits because the nhs kept saying I wasn't stable enough or making other stupid excuses, and it's so useful I'm now see my therapist twice a week whilst things are particularly difficult.
With what I'm experiencing it's not just talking things over and thinking about how I feel. It's much more an exploration of trying to understand my mind. One of the best things I think is that I feel like I'm an equal, I don't know if that's just my therapist, but even with therapists I've liked in CBT, ERP etc I've found like they're talking down to me, whilst with my psychotherapy it's like we're equals. Also I've found it much less traumatising and hurtful compared to other therapies I've had bad experiences with. It's ok to stop when you need to and you don't get coerced into anything.
Dunno if that helps at all, but hey, take care hun,
Roby xx
