Dear naturelover07:

Healing is something else! You asked am I close to my parents: my father, well, he visited after their divorce when I was 6 or so. He is now dead. My mother- I cut all contact with her in May 2013, last time I spoke to her on the phone. Never will have contact with her again. It was very difficult but necessary.

I read your last post but too tired to comment further this evening (going to bed next, after this post). I want to come back to your thread fresh tomorrow morning. If you are reading this before I am back, can you tell me if you attended psychotherapy or currently? What kind of therapy was it, what work was done, did it help you and how?

I attended therapy with my first competent, empathetic, hard working therapist in 2011. Quite incredible. CBT and Mindfulness. Very professional. That therapy jump started my healing.

Will be back in about ten hours, hoping to read more about your experience with therapy, if any. I will also re-read your latest post and reply then.
