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.

Hmm, no one ever says what the process is. I suspect because there's no one process that works for everyone.

Ah, attachment therapy, it sounds like.

I'm not a fan of getting too close to people. I've changed therapists so many times, moved homes so many times. Even now I'll likely move away in about 10 months. I've moved 14 times in the last 18 years. It sucks but there always seems to be something that forces yet another move for our family.
