Having others aware of who I am, and being able to interact with them (no matter "who" I am) - just HAS to be incredibly healing. I imagine that being in therapy is hugely better than being alone - and then that having others who know you as well, is another huge step above just therapy alone. I imagine that each addition of outside "help" speeds up this healing process more than I can guess. A support network is definitely more than just important to me. I think it has meant survival, and even immense growth. I think external support can help SO much.
