For those of you who have left therapy, what have you learned that you don't think you could have realised while IN therapy?

I have realised that I need to rely on myself and myself only. So much of my disappointment comes from expecting people to be there, or do their jobs, or not be pricks. I am, with few exceptions, let down. I am trying to expect nothing from the people I meet.

I have realised that I need to keep my private life more private. I've shared things with people and the lack of sensitivity is outstanding. I now journal or go for a walk. I feel safer.

I have realised that volunteering improves my mental health.

I have realised that I should leave situations that aren't working for me sooner. I'm 35 -- I'm tired of people who can't be bothered.

I have realised I should pour my love into my family and my home. Those are the things most likely to last.

I have learned that when someone denies you a space, you build your own. Don't keep trying to push against a locked door.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
