In reply to therapy or going it alone, posted by deerock on February 23, 2010, at 22:25:11
Even with therapy, you are going it alone. Your therapist can propose insights, but it's your choice whether to accept them or not.
All of us have to, in the end, go it alone. Stand on our own two feet. Make our own choices, and live with the consequences. Therapists can be teachers and guides and sometimes someone who can stand witness or provide company. But they can't hold us up or carry us.
(Even if sometimes it feels like they do.)
