THERAPY

Some say it’s not worth it,

it has never worked for me.

For a long time, I felt that way also.

I had been to a lot of counselors

and therapists who never gave advice.

They just sat, listened (or maybe they didn’t)

AND PRETENDED LIKE THEY CARED

About five years ago,

I started seeing a therapist who prescribed meds.

She also believed in the healing power of certain foods.

The problem was that I DID NOT WANT TO JUST FEEL BETTER.

I wanted to find tools to help me heal.

About three months ago,

I started taking to a wonderful counselor

(we will call her Rebecca).

For the first time

I felt that someone was truly listening to me.

She made me feel like I was something.

She taught me coping skills

so that I would not rely just on medication.

I was sad when our sessions ended.

Then I did A LOT of research online

and found my current counselor.

(We will call her Amber.)

She has helped me see

that is not only ok to have a voice but to use it.

I realized that it was easier

to rediscover who I am rather

than continuing to look at my life

through rose colored glasses.

My problem is I had been lying

to myself about who I am.

I have forgotten who and what I am.

I know that I love hard

I am a caregiver.

Other than that, I have lost my way.

I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD

TO FINDING OUT WHO I AM AGAIN.

So I can be healthy and happy.
