Finding the Right Therapist

I read this morning a post by Emily that inspired me to write about finding the right therapist. Although things had gone well for her (it seems) something wasn't right and she stopped with that therapist.

Sadly, it doesn’t work like that. I spent years of researching how services shape the recovery from sexual abuse; and here is what I found out:

5th Step to Happiness: Random Acts of Kindness

Hello again! It took me a while to find my way back into writing for the blog. Even with the best intentions, sometimes life takes over and 6 weeks have passed. I better get my act together or I won't be able to finish all ten steps before the year has passed.

As I said before, happiness is not a thing people just have. It's a discipline! You have to work for it … and some have to work harder for it than others to compensate for 'them depressive genes'. I guess, it's a bit like brushing teeth. It's just not helping to keep plaque at bay brushing only once in a while. Twice a day, I think is the standing recommendation. There you have it!
