Bump. I never went back into therapy. I'm of the opinion that traditional psychotherapy is junk. By now, we've seen enough examples of how it can be detrimental, not to mention expensive. However, I do think that you need to sort out the events of your life at some point. Talking to someone and verbalizing your thoughts can really help to figure things out. Even writing can accomplish that.
I think I'm at the point in my life where I understand why I am how I am. Things have sort of crystallized. I don't think traditional counseling is necessary for me anymore. BUT, I would entertain the possibility of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Has anyone tried it? Was it good?
