Have you ever undergone therapy of any sort?
- Lynn said...
- Yes - after my best friend died of breast cancer in 1993 (at age
29) and about the same time, my boyfriend broke up with me in a rather
cruel way. I was sort of walking around shell-shocked and another good
friend suggested I talk to her father's good friend, who was also a
therapist. Because of the personal connection, I got to see him at his
home. He was in his mid-70s and still practicing part-time. We would
walk his garden and he would make me a cup of tea - it was a gentle
therapy that worked for me and I became a much stronger person for it.

- Yes, after I broke my ankle.

- Many times. I have major depressive episodes, and because of my
heart, I can't take most anti-depressives. The first time I was in
therapy was after being treated for breast cancer. The woman was young.
She was not very nurturing and didn't understand the impact of a stage
3cancer diagnosis. She wasn't much help. The last time I was in therapy,
it was with a gentleman who was my age. He picked up on the problem and
was very helpful.

- I did when I tore my rotator cuff. Not fun but I eventually
learned enough to do it my self. Also completed Cardiac rehab which was
great in making me realize I wasn't as fragile as I thought and could
exercise quite a bit.
- Elephant's Child said...
- Yes.
- Riot Kitty said...
- I did in college and I just started again a few weeks ago. Difficult but necessary.

- Physio after a torn rotator cuff at work, like Arkansas Patti
says, not fun, but I still do some of the exercises on my own when my
shoulders begin to ache.
- G. B. Miller said...
- Yes.
- Lee said...
- Nope....
- cube said...
- No, but I think I might need physical therapy in the future. My knees are shot from running in my youth.
- Kerry said...
- Nope. Just lucky I guess.
- I have had physical therapy before and after my hip replacement
and cardiac rehab after heart attacks plus psychotherapy after being a
hostage in a bank robbery in '84.

ReplyDeleteAfter my parents died I did counselling which helped me deal with truama n quit smoking. It does help you think better. Physical not yet- lucky!
ReplyDeleteI survived WW2, but on returning to Sydney from Japan Sept 16 1945, the ship I was serving in at the time was de- Amunitioning (removing Ammo from the Magazines) in order to go into the Dry Dock For repairs. Silly me fell down a Hatch (Unintentionally) Result was Broken left leg and right foot and arm. Fotunately my head was still there when I awoke.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness yes. Hundreds of hours of talk therapy of various sorts. I only ever had one therapist who genuinely helped me, by gently but firmly challenging me. She helped me through leaving my first husband. Then she got cancer and suddenly (understandably) dropped all her clients. I never found anyone else worth the time I spent with them. (And in the end, nothing beats Paxil!) ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes - after my mother died. We were just talking - I was telling the therapist about a dream I had and had a meltdown. She said I'd be alright now - and I was.
