I would like to hear from members who have tried this therapy. I am considering it for myself.
I would prefer stories that are realistic, not simply negative or positive or opinions only.
Thank you 🙂

Thank you for your honesty, @Asgard .
I agree, being ready for the effects of therapy is important.

Thank you @Ru-bee , yes being prepared to be out of our comfort zone is very important.
I feel like I am in the right headspace to use the therapy and I spoke to a SANE practitioner about the process over the phone.

Morning @Rel76
Just noticed that you also asked about various other types of treatment, are you doing a paper or study on this. Just curious.......Asgard

Thanks for sharing your experiences @Asgard 🙂 It's so helpful to hear real stories from real people. That's the beauty of peer work.
We are all here to support each other.
How has your research into therapies been going @Rel76 ? I'm keen to hear if anything has sparked an interest for you.

I will be calling SANE again for my research and will look at whether my previous psychologist either uses the therapies, or has a person at her practice who does.
Otherwise, I will look further afield.
