It\u2019s not fun by far but is helping. Since reading your book helped me recognize that I needed professional help I can understand how certain things from the past stay with you as an adult. Such weirdness to imagine that something that happened to me as a child can cause me a problem as an adult. I haven\u2019t gone through anything like you have. I expect my therapy to be short term. I didn\u2019t share my going to therapy with my girfriend at this time but our relationship is becoming stronger. I think it\u2019s because I can see where my strengths and weakness are.  I would like to encourage others to go for help when something doesn\u2019t feel right inside yourself. When you talk to someone not related it\u2019s helpful and you can get a much better understanding of yourself. This is what I\u2019ve come to know.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Karen for your ability to share. Dr. Baer must be proud of you.<\/p>\n<p>John<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear John,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for sharing.  I am glad that you are working through your issues in therapy and noticing a positive change in your relationship with your girlfriend.  I know what you mean when you say it&#8217;s weird how your childhood can affect you as an adult. And you&#8217;re right about talking to someone who can see things objectively.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for encouraging others to seek help when something within them doesn&#8217;t feel right.<\/p>\n<p>All my best,<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by John on August 21, 2008 11:45 am Hello Karen, Therapy is going well for me.
