This time, I was going to put everything on the table, even though it frightened meNeedless to say, it didn’t work. I soon came to realise that I had only papered over the cracks in my life – I hadn’t fixed them. This was the hardest part of therapy for me – but it also made me stronger and happier in the long run. Therapy completely changed my life, but only when I committed to giving it my all. I always tell them that they need to discuss everything: nothing should be off the table in therapy.
