Having been raised in an environment were I was essentially given no sense of "self", "autonomy", or "self-esteem". Where my sense of SELF was essentially pulverized, the behavioral therapy I'm receiving now, for the first time in my life, is invaluable. It is not going to cure my DP. It's not going to cure my depression, my anxiety. But I already see it helping me construct some semblance of self-esteem from the outside in. A little rickety, but better than nothing. I have two problems, a set of neurological disorders, and some serious personality flaws. I believe my behavioral therapy is helping me cope, live within my limitations and not be stepped on like a carpet as I've been most of my life.
Forgive.
