I don't remember exactly what my treatment was like three years ago; it was brief, 8 to 10 sessions. My IC told me about the ghost of loss (fear of...).
Then we quickly came to the conclusion that life is about that: loss, and that it's not total, but partial.
Then comes the decision-making part, but that's what made me change my mind.
What was your experience?

My IC has mostly served as a person to talk things out with and get different perspectives from. This is because we have elected to keep her affair mostly a secret, so there are very few people i can confide in about it. His wife also cheated on him so he understands first hand what it's like, and its super helpful to talk to another who went through something similar. Same reason this site is so useful!
Also my IC is a resource when I'm having a crisis, and need advice ASAP.
Im actually considering the idea that I'm mostly past the crisis point and should find a specialist to help me instead.
What did you change your mind about?
