Already I’m glad I started more therapy

I’ve only had the first session of therapy. But already I’m glad.

Maybe therapy can feel like running a marathon, the hardest part is getting to the starting line.

Wondering what it will be like

Wondering what to say

Wondering if what you have to say is going to be heard

Wondering if anything you say is valid

Already I’m glad. And that’s just one session done.

First session and I’ve already shared, spoken, described stories I’ve never done before.

Healing begins.

Last time I did therapy in the midst of chaos, it was the start of a rebuild. With clarity over the end of one emotionally toxic relationship, clean air brings the desire to do work on the other one.

24 hours since that first session. I’m sitting in the calm ok feeling of being heard, validated and safe.

It’s all better out, that being stuck inside where it’s all been for over 40 years. Time to love myself even more, understand and heal.

I’m already glad I started. Men, don’t put it off. Damaging parental relationships, or domestic abuse relationship can happen to you. It’s time to heal.
It
Wasn’t
Your
fault.

And, seriously, don’t think you cant be healed, or that your problems are too little, or big, or that it’s not worth it. Just get onto the start line and start.

I’m glad again to start therapy.

I’m looking forward to being even more me.
