Today I finished therapy. I am a brand new person It’s an indescribable feeling. I’m proud of myself. I’m confident. As scared as I am of relapse I know it won’t be the same. I have tools and understanding now. That’s not to say there won’t be bad or hard days ahead.

For me one of the biggest surprises of my therapy sessions and path forward was just how quickly things would surface and pile up. It quickly felt never ending and insurmountable. I was overrun at times. I’m still not sure if it was good to not know that would be the case or not. Also maybe that’s just my experience. I can’t be sure as I haven’t heard a lot from others about it. Feel free to share your experiences.
