Has anybody found counselling helpful? If you didn't/ couldn't get counselling for whatever reason, how did you cope? I have had once a month sessions paid for by my local (government) council and had to travel 30 miles each way and have had 4 sessions over 6 months and it didn't seem enough. I feel my emotions will explode at times. How have you managed if you haven't had counselling, what works for you? I feel I would have gone demented without someone to talk to and at other times, I wondered if the adoption counsellor really understood the tsunami of emotions and anger issues that came with me?
I feel I do need professional help, I don't want to criticise counsellors/ counselling, but observations/how you coped would be useful. This website is really great, and yet even this doesn't seem enough at times???? Does anyone else feel this way? My counsellor has dug up a raw point that I've buried for 28 years and now its out, I don't seem to able to get past it, and I won't be able to see anyone for a further 4 weeks. I feel I need to have someone on hand/meet???
I haven't read any books on the subject or reunion, but as from tomorrow I am going to try and order from my local library.
