That's a great story of transformation there, congratulations! Impressive that you got it done, and also very telling about the current situation of psychological care, which is very limited to the official science. It takes a bit of luck to find the right path within (or in your case, outside) that.
Thank you for reading and commenting. Certainly, the most important thing is to achieve a change in pattern.
Most important and the hardest. To change pattern of behavior, install a new routine and maintain it through crisis - it sounds so easy, makes so much sense when written down, but really doing it can be a little hell of its own, full of failure and disappointment with oneself. The more impressive it is when someone gets it done 🙃
