So I asked my motorcycle buddy (who is also a Psychiatrist) for a good recommendation on a therapist. The focus being Me and my Couple / Romance dilemmas.
I had never been to a psychotherapist. He really recommended a good one as far as I am concerned.
I had absolutely no idea what to expect.
All keep the discussion stuff to myself not to dilute the progress I made in 90 minutes (yeah I stayed an extra half hour).
Just mention that I went in feeling all torn in two pieces and obsessed about what to do or not do and I walked out of there with a better understanding, clear vision.
For analogy, I would say if my brain/heart were a pair of glasses, then when I walked in I had grease and stuff on the lenses and when I walked out I had clear lenses. Still going to the same place, still same me, and still the same people in my life, and the problems / dilemmas.
The difference is as the song says I can see clearly now.
Of course, 90 minutes with a psychotherapist is not a magic one shot cure. I made an appointment for next week too.
Life is going on and I may not even be close to resolution or even the storm may be approaching . . .
All the same, I FEEL better because I can SEE better if that makes any sense.
And yes and for sure, I will say it again. I am responsible and it is me making the decisions.

McRoomMate, kudos! It can be very enlightening to pop the hood and explore just why things are the way they are. To start understanding how / why you make the decisions you do, and what's pushing your buttons. It's not a fast process, nor is it a silver bullet, but it greatly improves the odds of making better life decisions and being the best "you" possible.
