@dontshout Yes, it actually works. But only if you have a good therapist.

If you are not looking forward to going back to therapy, it sounds like maybe you haven't found the right therapist. If you feel therapy is not good value for money, it sounds like maybe the therapist you've been seeing is not very good at it.

Is it possible for you to try a different therapist? It might be a better solution than drink and starvation.

If you don’t have a good therapist you can end up being seriously harmed, so make sure you do research on the therapist before entrusting them with your mental health. Be aware if things don’t “feel right” or if the therapist does things to upset or confuse you. I had a very unprofessional and negligent therapist who caused me to experience PTSD, and I believed he cared. Don’t ever risk your mental health, be cautious!

Therapy does work, absolutely, if you're ready to put the work in. Like another poster mentioned, it's important to research and find one that fits your needs. This is what I did with my last therapist. Also, read any reviews beforehand if you're able to so you can get an idea the kind of experience they provide.

@chickensandwich1

I agree with all you said. Thank you for posting that.

I am older and it has taken me a long time to go back, looking to go back into therapy. I have been to blessed and fortunate and found the most persfect therapist for me and am finally getting so much help so many way from her.

I did a lot like you did chickensandwich1, and did as good of a job researching into the therapist I thought would be the best fit, knowledgeable in my areas, and all the rest you mentioned. It does make a big difference and helps so much.

Therapy has helped me tremendously
