Christina,

You are WAY too hard on yourself! You will deal with stuff when you are ready to, even if it takes 5 more years. I think you will know when you are ready, there is no official timeline on how long things are suppose to take in therapy. I like what Treehouse says, she is so right on!

It sounds like you have a lot of hard work ahead of you, hang on tight! I like what my T told me this week when she saw my painting I did. She said yes, it has a darkness to it, but part of the darkness of pain is now a little more out of me instead of being within. You are beginning to let it out little by little and that is okay.
