It's kinda funny how someone like Steve, a man admittedly not a bona fide expert in this field, can get a higher understanding about the issues than a person working with SOs for the last 15 years. Once again DP1 is disappointing me as she always does because after so long in the field she hasn't learned a thing. You read what people say DP but you don't absorb it nor understand or even let your personal bias get in the way of the obvious. I said therapy is NOT ENOUGH. Someone can give advice every day for life but when I leave the session then what? If I go home to an empty room where I have nothing to occupy my time, no people to ralk to when I'm feeling down, etc., what good is it? Jake and anyone in similar situations know exactly what I mean. No one to talk to except a counselor. Ever been to a therapy session dp? It's not the same as when you go out with friends, hang around friencdly people in a church, and so on. The isolationism brough upon most by Jake himself is dangerous, and no amount of therapy in the world can give anyone the same sense of belonging as having someone really give a damn about you. Scarlett has done more for me just by her friendship than my counselors have during this time of my like because I don't pay her to listen to my problems, and she actually cares about me enough to take a few minutes out of her real life to talk to me. Going to church, hanging out with a nice morally minded individual, and keeping myself busy with a variety of activities has done me more good than years, no, DECADES of therapy I've already had. It's not without some value but I merely stated you treat therapy as a cure all when it is not. The longer I involve myself here DP the less respect I have for you and the more I have come to believe you are ill qualified to be in your position. And I make no apologies for saying it.
