I have a therapist/psychologist and I go every few months whether I think I need to or not - the sessions have been, and continue to be, an amazing experience for me. I am a pretty strong person - I am logical and practical and I think that helps me to keep my perspective a lot of the time. There are so many things that we just can't control, and learning to not obsess about these things and to focus on things that you CAN control is really helpful for me. I was raised in a christian home and brought up in the church, but like Vanessa, I just never really "felt" it - it just never worked for me. I had too many questions that couldn't be answered, too many doubts. I'm not a faith person, I need proof :smile:

I was just telling myself when I was walking through downtown this afternoon, "Don't get angry about the things you can't control."
