I never had psychotherapy by myself, but only in a group context. I was in the beginning, when I was diagnosed with MS. The purpose of the group was to gather some information to a research program related with psychological "modifications" connected with demyelinating diseases, and I might say that placed a great perspective about myself. I've contacted with other patients who had much more marked physical limitations than I did at the time. I confess that I'm a little reluctant to seek psychological support, but I think I should have done so in a context of individual support.

Yeah, I hear you. I probably should have taken more time off after the stroke and then also spent more time working out what has changed in me and how to deal with it, before forcing myself into work again. Hindsight is useless though, isn't it? :)
Hindsight is important, not so much for the therapeutic approach, but to give context to your decision-making at the time. You thought and felt it was the right thing to do. Maybe you wouldn't have done it the same way today, but surely there's no-one who doesn't regret it or who doesn't think they'd change anything they've done to date. Best wishes, mate
