> How often do you and your T do that check up thing? I assume that if you're still with your T, it means things are working. How much progress have you made so far with your T? Do you notice actual antidepressant effects from therapy alone?
*not sure, mebbe every few months? or just to kinda check when we feeling bogged down.
She does it as a percentage.
Eg:
So you do less self harm...how much better is that from when you started? 10%? 40%? How much do you think its improved?
I stopped therapy for a time, and kinda went downhill, guess I not done yet. I think if depression is severe then AD's are necc. I am not on meds at this time. I seem to be able to do w/o meds if I am in T.> I wonder if this is common practice among T's? If my T doesn't do this, seems like a great suggestion to make. Otherwise, you can go years thinking that therapy is helping you, when in fact, it might not, and so much time and money blindly invested would be a huge loss.
*exactly. Its a good practice. I think its a common code of therapy. 1. do no harm, but also, if there is no progress, then alternatives need to be looked at...
Good luck.
