I have to agree with the "thick-skin" theory Ritch was explaining. That is exactly the way I explain it to my husband, that Zoloft gives me thicker skin. I also believe that people are either born thin skinned or thick skinned. I do not believe the theory that thin skinned people can become thick skinned through lifes trials (just my opinion). I do believe therapy is very useful for many people, especially in the beginning phases of learning how to cope with a mental illness or in working through a traumatic past or event. But I think after years of going, learning all the basics to help cope, you reach a point where there is nothing else the therapist can do for you except be there for support and to listen. I think you reach a level where you know where the therapy has reached it's ultimate level and the rest is left to the meds.
