This entry made me think a lot. I've always been adamantly against opening a Pandora's box of therapy, insisting that I am over my issues. At the same time, I still have ample space to think about myself, and spend lots of my minutes working out/ smoking pot/ drinking/ taking quiet time/ napping. This is how I manage my past injuries, physical and otherwise.

I am with you 100%. I frowned upon therapy out of a lack of distrust in the professionals that be. Moreover, and probably more to the point, I trusted my *own* abilities to overcome. I always felt very self-aware, acknowledged (and accepted) my past, associated my upbringing with many of my shortcomings, etc. I never considered myself as someone who escapes & avoids. I confront things head on.

But ... there are things she is teaching me that I could never come around to on my own, not in a million years. And it's put a new face on how I look at my behavior & my life. It's already helped a great deal.

And yes, I doubt I would have endeavored to seek this kind of help if I didn't have a family to think of.
