Thank you! She said it does take time and effort. I am praying things will get better and i'll leet you know how it goes
Seeing a therapist is the MOST important, and quite frankly, the smartest thing you can do with this. In my experience, long term relief can only be achieved by confronting and learning about it...which your PhD will help you do. Just ensure you give it time though...there will be no magical 'cure' overnight. I am also a big proponent of medication as long as it is combined with talk therapy...you are doing the right thing in my book...keep us posted!
