i was pretty apprehensive about therapy when i went...at that time, it was pretty dire so i stuck it out...turns out, i just needed the right therapist...
the first one was really cool and generally a good dude but i just didn't feel comfortable talking about a lot deep stuff with him...
my second therapist was so good that i never felt like i was talking to a stranger....if i had committed murder she could have gotten me to admit it....i saw her for 10 months in the first year of my sobriety....she had to tell me i didn't need to keep seeing her :hihi:
you really have to find the right one for you(easier said than done)...so don't just give up if the first one doesn't jive...there is someone out there that speaks your language
most importantly, you have to be patient with therapy...it's a slow and sometimes brutal process but it really works if you can be honest with your therapist
