What about medication?

My perspective on medication is that it is one tool available in our toolkit. Sometimes folks have an affinity for a particular tool. Sometimes a tool is necessary for a certain job. Rarely is any one tool sufficient for an entire construction project. If there is structural damage to be repaired from trauma, childhood attachment wounding, addiction, loss, or a poorly developed sense of self, more than one tool working in tandem will be most effective.

Some medication is used once or a few times (as in psychotropic assisted therapy), others are more long term (anti-depressants for situational depression), and some are intended to be taken indefinitely (anti-psychotics). Similarly, some therapies are designed to be used a few times (reconsolidation of traumatic memories), others are designed for a period of time (dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy), while others are designed to be used indefinitely (psychoanalysis). The key is to find the right tools that will work for you. 

I am here to support you in your journey, using whatever tools work best for you.
