Re: THEROPISTS AND STUFF

[Guest guest]

You were lucky to to get away from that theropist. Sounds like he

would have done more harm than good. My niece in Florida is in

theropy and they diagmosed her with Bipolar. Ah NO. BPD all the way.

So she isn't getting the proper treatment. That isn't right atleast

she is trying and she isn't getting the right help. I'm lucky I do

have a very good theropist who is known for treating BP's &

families. She is also realistic and down to earth. She is GOOD. I

have a question for all of you, How long is the recovery process

supposed to take? Is it like being an alcoholic that we need to

always be in recovery? I now it is different for everyone, but what

are supposed to accomplish? I want to work on me and it has helped

me, but I have a hard time with left over feelings as a child. I am

hurt, angry, disappointed in my nada, but it's like I don't know if

my anger is as strong as what it is supposed to be? I kinda feel

like I know what I went through, I am still realises what it all

cost me, I'm working on understanding why I did what I did, What I

need to do to become healthier and happier, but I just don't see the

point on returning to those horrible emotional states I went through

as a child? I pushed them away than to survive. I survived. I'm

trying to now live. I was so depressed and angry last Saturday that

I couldn't stand it. I thought no wonder why I pushed them away to

survive. I probably would have ended up a druggy or dead or

something if I would have felt those feelings. Can I get better

without dwelling on those denied emotions as a child???? I just want

to live my life and work on me. Nada caused me enough misery. I

don't want to concentrate to much on that bad childhood any more.

> Hi , You would find Dr. 's book Bad Childhood, Good Life

very interesting. In it she advocates not living in the past or

dwelling on our hurts too much. I think she has a point. She talks of

our decisions about our own lives and gives many interesting examples

of people who have turned their lives around and refused to remain the

victim. Dee
