Started therapy and it's actually helping

I

Just wanted to post this because I was ashamed to admit I needed it but I've been seeing a therapist for 3 months now and I feel like I'm getting my life back. Turns out a lot of my anger at my kids was actually unresolved trauma from my own childhood. Learning to separate that stuff has been wild. Not perfect yet but I'm not yelling at my 5yo for spilling juice anymore.

Proud of you for taking that step. It takes guts to admit you need help. I was in the same boat, felt like I should just be able to handle everything on my own. Turns out I couldn't and that's okay.

Same thing here brother. Started therapy a few months back and it's been a game changer. There's no shame in it, honestly it should be more normalized for dads. Sounds like you found a good therapist if you're already noticing changes.

This is awesome to hear. How long did it take you to find a therapist you actually clicked with? That was the hardest part for me.
