I was skeptical about therapy but my wife basically forced me to try it after I snapped at the kids over nothing. Been going for 2 months now and my therapist is helping me see patterns about why I get so angry. Not gonna lie I cried in a session last week but it actually felt good. Just wanted to say if you're on the fence about it, it might be worth trying. Doesn't mean you're broken.
Your wife basically forced you to go and it ended up being one of the best things that happened to you. That's a real testament to her seeing something you couldn't see yourself.
Therapy can seem like a waste until you actually start doing it and realize how much stuff you're carrying around. Glad it's helping man. Takes guts to admit you needed it.
Props to your wife for pushing you. Sometimes we need someone in our corner saying hey this isn't working. Glad you're finding it helpful already.
That's awesome. A lot of us need that push honestly. Once you start talking to someone it's like someone finally turned on a light. Better for your mental health and your family.
This is great to hear. A lot of us dads need to hear that therapy isn't weakness it's actually strength. How much has it changed how you handle things with the kids?

Dude I'm so glad you gave it a shot. I was the same way thinking it was pointless until I actually went. Did they help you figure out what was triggering those snaps at the kids?
