I have been in therapy for several years and have truly found the right therapist for me. I struggled to find someone I could trust and be vulnerable with. I really wanted someone who was willing to be real with me and show me their human side so I could see that they were safe to show my intimate side. I still struggle with being completely honest and feel I have to say what they want to hear. I fear being judged and treated like a diagnosis instead of a person. I wish I could just throw everything out there and walk away.
I feel blessed to have met the therapist I have now and I know that I am safe. I am learning to move past my fears and work through the pain of my past.
I believe in therapy and that the right therapist is the key. You need to be patient and willing to stick it out so you can find the one who fits best with your needs.
I feel therapy is what you put into it. You only get what you are willing to give of yourself.
Anonymous,
I am so glad you have stuck with therapy as long as you have and finally feel safe. I know it is hard to be vulnerable. It sounds like you have a therapist who is very understanding and has a lot of grace for you - I don't think s/he would see you as a "diagnosis." If s/he did see you that way, you probably wouldn't have ended up feeling safe at all with him/her. There is some stuff you just can't fake.
