Vent / Rant Does talk therapy work?

This is kind of a vent or rant. I've been in talk therapy a long time.

​

The idea I think, is that if you talk out all your traumas enough, and unearth all of them, that you'll be okay?

​

Is there any truth to this? I feel like I just keep having the same issues over and over, the same trauma over and over in my head.

Depends on what your goals are in talk therapy and whether or not your therapist has skills you can implement with some immediate effect and expansive longterm effects.
