Therapy didn’t help

there are lots of different kinds of therapy, so i hope it doesn't completely discourage you from ever going again.

Are there? I've only ever been able to find CBT and EMDR and they're exactly the same. The first session of EMDR, we did the thing the name describes, but every session after that she just wanted to talk and it was basically a worse rehash of CBT.

the individual therapist matters a lot. i know friends who have gone through many before landing on one that actually helped them. i know that's not ideal, but it is an option. it's also a slow process for lots of folks.

two friends of mine are actually on ketamine treatments to help with their mental health after trying everything else.

Thank you, that's reassuring. I'm glad your friends were able to find help.
