Making The Most Of Therapy

Posted by A.J. Wylder on Thu, 02/14/2008 - 3:00pm

As I've mentioned in my previous posts, I returned to counseling about a month ago and so far it has been good.

When I was seeing the first therapist about a year ago, I was focused on dealing with the divorce. Now, I am focused on me and how I can heal, move on, and release these feelings of anger. Given this, I have decided to really open up to the therapist.

Unlike my first round of sessions a year ago, I have started looking back into my past and addressing issues, experiences, etc. from my childhood. I know that childhood experiences shape who we become as adults so I am interested to learn how my experiences have shaped me. For example, I believe I tend to involve myself with the wrong type of guys. What I want to know is why?

It is a bit odd sharing past experiences with a stranger but I just keep reminding myself that she is a trained professional and not some random woman I'm spilling my guts to. But I must say, so far it has felt pretty good.
