@Ellis564 @thewebrecluse @LnzyHou I do believe in therapy. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't have survived without it. I had a plan. But I didn't need a hug, I needed tools to manage CPTSD. I still use the tools and I still need them. There are times I go back to get a tune-up. A person who uses the tools is the one I trust to help me learn how to use them.
