Everything I Wish I'd Known Before Starting Therapy

The greatest benefit I ever derived from therapy was that it accelerated the process of becoming bored with talking about my problems (much to the relief of friends and family). The therapist was paid to put up with listening to me. They weren't.

There are some good guidelines, but this is an individual sport. I did the homework, yet my relationship didn't change much. This could have been because I wasn't there for me, but for others. I really didn't believe in it and therefore, bottom-line, I got nothing out of it.
