I was able to schedule an appointment late next month to go back to therapy. I’ll be able to talk to my old therapist again, so that’s good. I’m facing the facts that I can’t do it on my own any longer and need more professional help. I still have to shake my head at myself for being optimistic that I could overcome my trauma within this year. I got way ahead of myself and had a completely implausible idea in hindsight. At least I sort of foretold the long distraction with boyfriendish being detrimental to my path to recovery in the long run. Not that I regret spending time with him, just letting myself be distracted for so long and relying on him to become content. But I’ll be getting back on the right track soon. I’m looking forward to it, all things considered. I’m glad I was able to schedule my old therapist, who I’m already familiar with. It’ll still be a while before I can get started on therapy again, but I’m feeling optimistic about getting back on track and staying there this time.

Glad you could get the one you've already had. I don't know about other people, and I've never done therapy, but I think I would super hate having to open up to a stranger all over again, after having managed to make the plunge the first time.
