Hello Anita,

It was just a work-sponsored counselor who wanted to help find my values and such and it was a limited number of sessions, I forget how many exactly. After our sessions she suggested I get a diagnosis at the Mental Health center in my city. I did that and the person said there was no medication that could help a depression rooted in childhood trauma, so he suggested I find someone who specializes in it, but I haven’t had the time or drive to go that far, because this feeling comes in waves so I could have a good day and feel like I don’t need help and then the next day I could not want to wake up or do anything. My impression of the therapist is that she wasn’t a therapist. She was a counselor, and assumed that whatever works for other people would work for anyone because she’s used to mild cases that can be solved through talking and identification of values.
