The End of a Chapter

WRITTEN BY Jamila January 22, 2020
The End of a Chapter

For now, therapy has served its purpose. I am no longer trapped but definitely still working on me.

Initially, I started therapy because of an unhealthy and abusive relationship. This person really did the most in making me feel self doubt, confusion and unhappiness. So I told myself therapy was to help me “understand” the situation but the reality was, I already knew. But when you’re in a bad situation, you sometimes want someone else to tell you, to confirm what you already know, to cosign. I wanted permission to say, “This is abusive, and I am not happy’.

And so, I’ve done the work. I’ve said it. And I’m no longer in that space.

Therapy has served its purpose.

This is not to say I will never do therapy again; I would definitely consider and recommend it. But, I’m no longer in that space and I no longer need to heal those wounds. I’ve closed that chapter and entered a new one.

In the futute, as I work on myself and create my best self, I may consider therapy to help me on that journey to self development. But for now, I will continue to journal and read because

Therapy has served its purpose.
