I am just starting on my therapy journey at 45. I've spent most of my life in the self-help section of the library, and have finally taken the scary 1st step into a therapist's office to deal with childhood trauma I thought was long gone...but has reappeared in nightmares, flashbacks, and anxiety attacks. Have been reading many of the posts in different forums for awhile now, and have come to the astounding epiphany that other people have similar ways of describing how they feel, and similar issues, and some great ideas for working things out. I've got my roots in both the US and Canada, so sort of a split personality I guess
