Finally started therapy and I'm not gonna lie it's tough

Week 3 of therapy and my therapist is making me actually talk about my dad instead of just glossing over it like I always do. Hurts more than I expected but also feels like something is shifting. For anyone considering it but scared, I get it. It sucks at first but I think it's worth it. Just wanted to put that out there.

Good on you for going. I've been thinking about therapy for a while because I know my dad stuff affects how I parent. Does your therapist specialize in this kind of family pattern stuff?

Week 3 is when it starts getting real. That's when my therapist stopped letting me gloss over stuff too. It sucks but stick with it, man. Talking about your own dad's stuff is where the real work happens.

Props for doing this. A lot of guys don't even start. The tough conversations now will make you a better dad for it. How's it feeling so far?
