Answers:
Therapy has definitely helped me! I no longer live in the past, crying over spilt milk!. I would definitely do it over again!. I was in therapy for 13 years (long time)!. Most probably do not need to go that long!. Yes, in a way it gets worse before it gets better!. I spent a lot of time crying and working thru my issues!. A good therapist MUST be a good listener, and focus on your needs and issues! I had a great one! Feeling like the real you comes with time!. I am living in the here and now and not in the past anymore!. It was well worth the heartache to grow beyond my problems and move on in life! I would recommend it most definitely!! Make sure you get a therapist you can work with and if not find a new one! Best of luck to you!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i am still in therapy!. i like the idea that a stranger will listen to my problem and be objective!. it has helped but i still have a long way to go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Therapy is there to help you process issues!. you have to be open and honest with the therapist!. No therapist should ever tell you what to do they are there to offer advice and help you to make informed decisions to deal with your issues be they trauma, abuse or any mental health issues you are dealing with!. If the therapist is good and you have a good open and honest relationship it can be a great help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Therapy was negative for me!. I should have looked into much more and decided if this is what I should pursue!. In retrospect, I made a grave error and just about cost me my life, and did cost me my job, almost my house, and my marriage!. This was due to depression and hospitalizations!. Also in retrospect, I did not have a therapist who knew what she was doing and obviously did not know how to handle my type of therapy (sexual abuse), got in too deep and didn't know how to get out of it!. Don't know if it was ego or stupid!.

Anyways, I really dug myself out!.

I don't want to sound negative on therapy, my word of warning though, just buyer beware and get references and decide if this is what you want!. Therapy can be tough stuff!.

Take care!.
