Have you tried changing your focus in therapy to work on some of the issues of the past? I know my T feels that it's important to get out of crisis before we can figure out the "whys" of certain things. But at the same time, if certain things in the past are causing so much turmoil in the present - then I would feel as though it needed to be addressed.
I'm hurting for you....
