I believe in therapy. 9/23 '15
But I didn't used to. There's such a stigma around it and why you go. And the first time I went I lied to them. The 2nd time I lied to myself, and then finally after a few sessions I finally said "I'm paying you a lot of money to help me with something that I'm not being honest about. So. I'm not getting any better. Here's the deal..."
And it's a lot of hard work, but that's why I'm seeing someone. Because at the root of it all, I'm unhappy with myself. And I need to figure out why? After a year and a half break I'm finally going again thanks to insurance and it's time to get back on the road to solving things.
I wish more people had access to it. I wish more people could reach out when they needed. And rather than vilifying it, I choose to be open and support whoever wants to go. I'll update progress as I go.
As a friend put it to me when I was on the fence: even a good car requires maintenance.
